		All the known dialogues of Plato survive, however modern-day standard editions of his oeuvre generally contain dialogues considered by the consensus of scholars to be either suspect (e.g., Alcibiades, Clitophon) or probably spurious (such as Demodocus, or the Second Alcibiades).
		Plato founded one of the earliest known organized schools in Western civilization when he was 40 years old on a plot of land in the Grove of Academe.
		Plato's thought is often compared with that of his best and most famous student, Aristotle, whose reputation during the western Middle Ages so completely eclipsed that of Plato that the Scholastic philosophers referred to Aristotle as "the Philosopher." Contrarily, in the Byzantine Empire the study of Plato continued.

		His map clearly shows and locates craters 1,3 and 5, but crater 4 is mis-located, and the topmost of his craters either does not exist or is number 6, grossly misplaced.
		His schematic map appears to correctly plot craters 1-9 from the Orbiter image (although the relative sizes are not always correct).
		Comparison of Pickering’s estimates of the diameters of the five largest craters with my measurements on the high resolution Orbiter IV frame, H 127 reveal that except for the largest crater, he underestimated crater sizes by 60 to 100 percent.

	Crater Plato
		The crater Plato is the large crater just to the left of center in my image.
		This is probably due to lava flows in the crater after it was originally formed.
		Plato is approximately 61 miles in diameter with walls rising to approximately 6000 ft. The three large craters near the right side of the image are, from top to bottom, Aristoteles, Aristillus, and Archimedes.

	Socrates (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Plato was about twenty-five when Socrates was tried and executed, and had probably known the old man most of his life.
		Further, Plato's representation of individual Athenians has proved over time to correspond remarkably well with both archaeological and literary evidence: in his use of names and places, familial relations and friendship bonds, and even in his rough dating of events in almost all the authentic dialogues where Socrates is the dominant figure.
		Those seeking the views and methods of Plato's Socrates from the perspective of what one is likely to see attributed to him in the secondary literature (§2.2) will find it useful to consult the related entry on Plato's shorter ethical works.

	platosecondo
		A paper recently appeared in this Journal [1] which proposed that the hook-like shadow recorded on the floor of the lunar crater Plato by Wilkins and Moore on 1952 April 3, [2, 3], is projected by a complex and elongated hill lying on Plato’s floor, at the foot of its south wall.
		Features on Plato’s floor are similar, in particular the "hook", while those outside the crater are crudely different, revealing that the authors were concerned with few features on the floor.
		We think that the two Plato drawings made at the telescope on 1952 April 3 by the two English observers were originally only rough and incomplete sketches of a few features upon which their attention was directed.

		The floor of Plato is criss-crossed with delicate whitish streaks which have been carefully mapped but I have never really seen them convincingly, apart from one or two.
		The south-east part of the crater floor is occupied by a lighter area called the sector.
		When comparing the phenomena being reported while the crater is in direct sunlight we get whopping 93.2% compared to events reported in the earthshine which is 6.7%.

		The crater Plato is one of the superstars for observers of the Moon.
		Although some observers have reported dozens, only four craters are sufficiently obvious to be seen with moderate telescopes even when observing conditions are steady and the illumination angle is favorable.
		Because the floor possesses a few small impact craters near the limit of visibility with small telescopes, there have been unofficial contests to detect the largest number of craters.

		The floor, which is 60 miles in diameter, is of a dark steel-grey tint, in strong contrast to the bright surrounding walls, and the formation is distinctly visible under any illumination.....and Webb records parallel beams of light over the floor at sunrise, seen long be by Bianchini.
