Product Description
Two generations of great ancient Greek figures: Socrates (470/469 BC - 399 BC) followed by his student Plato (424/423 BC - 348/347 BC). The enigmatic figure of Socrates and his theories are very well known through the writing of his students. The dialectic method, the awareness of own ignorance, and the pursuit of virtue in human life are some of his most important beliefs and contributions. Plato, the founder of Academy of Athens, has left many writings, mainly in the form of dialogues, addressing a wide variety of subjects including philosophy, logic, ethics, rhetoric, religion, politics and mathematics. His theory of forms, i.e. the belief that the material world is only an image of the real world, has led to the formation of the Platonic School of Thought. The set includes two hand-finished statues made by top quality alabaster, based on Greek marble. It is a great home or office decoration idea for those interested in art, science, history and philosophy.
