Platón bol kľúčovou postavou antického Grécka, ktorého filozofické dialógy a myšlienky formovali základy západného myslenia. Ako zakladateľ Akadémie v Aténach položil Platón základy vzdelanosti a jeho vplyv je badateľný v etike, metafyzike i epistemológii. Jeho spisy, často vedené formou rozhovoru, skúmajú fundamentálne otázky existencie a spoločnosti. Spolu so Sokratom a Aristotelom predstavuje pilier západnej filozofie.
