About the Author
Three renowned ancient philosophers: Plato, Aristotle, and Epictetus, shaped Western thought. Plato, a pupil of Socrates, founded the Academy and explored ideal forms. Aristotle, his student, delved into logic, ethics, and natural sciences. Epictetus, a Stoic, emphasized virtue and personal control. Their ideas continue to inspire philosophical discourse.
