Myles Burnyeat in conversation with Bryan Magee discuss the life and work of Plato.

Plato was in born in 429 and died in 347 B.C.E..He is one of the most brilliant thinkers of Western philosophy, and one of the most influential writers in the history of philosophy. His works demonstrate his focus on politics and intellectual movements, but the questions he raises are so profound and provocative that even the most educated academics in history have in some way been influenced by him, and in practically every age there have been philosophers who count themselves Platonists. He was so self-conscious about how philosophy should be conceived that the intellectual undertakings he explored induced a rigorous and systematic examination of ethical, political, metaphysical, and epistemological issues.
