Plato - Timaeus: "Nothing in the affairs of men is worthy of great anxiety"

The life of the Greek philosopher Plato was profoundly shaped by his education and key events, including his mentorship under Socrates and his experiences during the Peloponnesian War. His travels across the Mediterranean allowed him to study various disciplines, leading to the creation of influential writings. In 385 B.C.E., he founded the Academy in Athens, offering a comprehensive curriculum aimed at cultivating future leaders equipped to improve governance. Plato's enduring contributions to philosophy and education continue to resonate in Western thought.
