Plato
Plato (circa 428-348 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher, student of Socrates, and teacher of Aristotle. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in Western philosophy. His writings, primarily in the form of dialogues, explore various subjects including ethics, politics, metaphysics, and epistemology. Plato's concept of 'oligarchy' as a form of government, where power is held by a small group of wealthy individuals, is articulated in his works, particularly in 'The Republic,' where he examines different types of governance and their implications for society.
