I am glad that you have found the forum. I have read some but not all of Plato. Apart from being boring, life would be entirely different without Plato. If he hadn't existed the whole of philosophy would have been different. Of course, if he hadn't existed as a human being another person would have probably come to his ideas eventually. Of course, Plato was very fortunate to have Socrates to learn from. I would love to find a new Socrates in my travels.

Anyway, I hope you find some exciting adventures and encounters on this site.

i am kinda lost as to where a modern plato would be in life, would he be more like socrates and have faith? would he be like science? where would he exist? would he even be able to exist ?

Welcome to TPF.

Reply to Homer the Stoic Describe what being a "modern plato" (metaphysically) consists in, or (more specifically – ontologically, axiologically and/or epistemologically) commits one to, in a few(?) sentences. :smirk:
