Plato was the first great philosopher of the West. He thought that there are changeless eternal forms on which existing things are modeled. To Plato human beings consist of an immortal soul together with a body that keeps it in the twilight world of changing perishing things. the soul has a love for the eternal the good the true and the beautiful; these give life purpose stability and meaning.

From AudioFile
Curious about the beginnings of philosophy? Have you ever wondered what the Greeks thought about and taught to Western Civilization? Knowledge Products presents a well-rounded synopsis of the writings of Plato and his teacher, Socrates. The excerpts show Plato's contribution to medieval and modern philosophy. Charlton Heston reads the background material, and an assorted cast reads excerpts from Plato and modern philosophers who wrote about him. Heston is an excellent narrator, reading clearly and slowly. The additional voices, however, vary in audibility. This is an excellent introduction to a complex subject. M.B.K. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Good brief intro to Plato,
By Yoda (Hadera, Israel) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Plato: Greece (Ca. 428-348 B.C.) (Audio Cassette)
If you are looking for a brief intro to Plato in about 3 hours this audiobook is fairly good. To do obtain a proper analysis of Plato the tape should have been about 3 to 4 times its length, however.
