The Eternal Makkari was tutored by Plato,[1] who was his philosophy professor. He kept a terracotta statute that Plato gave him for thousands of years.[5]
Death and Legacy[]
Plato died in 348 BC.[1]
His followers developed in their philosophy the concept of macrocosm and microcosm, which is an example in western culture of the theory of interconnectedness.[6]
The Mad Thinker created an android based on Plato programed with all of Plato's writings, as part of a project where the Thinker created androids based on many great thinkers, hoping they would make new applications of their philosophies for our time.[7]See Also
