Plato’s contributions are unparalleled. No other thinker got the admiration and criticism that he did. His most important works include The republic (380-370 BC), the Statesman (360 BC) and the Laws (350 BC). He laid down the foundations of Greek political theory and explored a wide range of philosophical perspectives and issues. While his admirers have been numerous, he had his share of critics too, including Aristotle. Most of his recent critics have been in the 20th century within the liberal tradition. He has been criticised for his hostility towards progressive, humanitarian, and democratic ideals and regarded him as the forerunner of modern-day totalitarianism.
