  Plato of Athens - A Life in...

  Considered by many to be the most important philosopher ever, Plato was born into a well-to-do family in wartime Athens at the end of the fifth century BCE. He finally decided to go into politics, but became disillusioned, especially after the Athenians condemned his teacher, Socrates, to death. He began teaching in his twenties and later founded the Academy, the world's first higher-educational research and teaching establishment. Eventually, he returned to practical politics and spent a considerable amount of time and energy trying to create a constitution for Syracuse in Sicily that would reflect and perpetuate some of his political ideals. The attempts failed, and Plato's disappointment can be traced in some of his later political works. 
   
   
   
  In his lifetime and after, Plato was considered almost divine. This led to the invention of many tall tales about him-both by those who adored him and his detractors. In this first ever full-length portrait of Plato, Robin Waterfield steers a judicious course among these stories, debunking some while accepting the kernels of truth in others. He explains why Plato chose to write dialogues rather than treatises and gives an overview of the subject matter of all of Plato's books. Clearly and engagingly written throughout, Plato of Athens is the perfect introduction to the man and his work.

  Senility and the brain cells - 1 June 1980  
  • Is the human brain deteriorating? 
  • The human brain is not a particular brain, it doesn’t belong to me or to anyone 
  else, it is the human brain which has evolved for millions of years. 
  • Can the brain not only be aware of its own movement but can the brain itself 
  have enough energy to break all patterns and move out of it? 
  • Is psychological knowledge not in itself a factor of the shrinking of the brain? 
  • The ending of suffering comes about when the self, which is built up through 
  time, is no longer there. 
  • If there is an insight into the nature of time the very brain cells which are part 
  of time break down. The brain cells mutate, bring about a change in 
  themselves. 
  • Meditation is insight.
