Platon — Filozof, którego sprzedano w niewolę | Film dokumentalny

Plato—a biography and documentary about the man whose thought laid the foundation for all of Western philosophy. Creator of the theory of ideas, student of Socrates, and teacher of Aristotle. Why did the heir to a royal family abandon his throne for philosophy—and allow himself to be sold into slavery? Plato is one of the most influential thinkers in human history. A descendant of the legendary King Codrus and relative of the lawgiver Solon, raised in the most distinguished Athenian family, Plato had a path to power and fame as a poet open before him. Instead, he created the science of ideas, founded the first philosophical school in history, and wrote works that are still read worldwide two and a half thousand years later. This documentary tells the story of Plato not as a statue from a textbook, but as a flesh-and-blood man. At the heart of this story is the shock that turned his life upside down—the unjust death sentence of his mentor, Socrates. It was this death that gave rise to two questions in Plato that haunted him until the end: where does evil come from in the world, and is it possible to build a truly just state? In pursuit of the answer, the philosopher was willing to risk his life, repeatedly sailing to the court of a Sicilian tyrant, where he nearly lost his freedom and his head. In the film, you will learn about specific events in Plato's life: his illustrious Athenian childhood in the shadow of the rule of the Thirty Tyrants, his encounter with the barefoot sage from the marketplace, the dramatic trial and final hours of Socrates, his years of wandering and his sale into slavery on the island of Aegina, the founding of the renowned Academy, the famous parable of the cave, his project for an ideal state ruled by philosophers, his bitter defeat at the court of Syracuse, and his dispute with his most gifted student—Aristotle. This is no ordinary biography. This is the story of how one life and one death changed the course of human thought for millennia—and why the questions posed by Plato still remain without definitive answers.
