Profile

Plato's contribution to the development of both philosophy and psychology is undoubtedly understated. Western philosophy is built around his works. The Republic remains one of the key sources for a strong foundation in psychology, philosophy, politics and international relations.

Plato's contributions include:

  • The allegory of the cave.

  • The Republic.

  • The concept of philosopher kings.
