Plato
428 – 348 BC · Greek Philosopher, Founder of the Academy
Plato founded the first institution of higher learning in the Western world and spent his life arguing that truth exists beyond what your senses tell you. He watched Athens execute his teacher Socrates for asking uncomfortable questions, and spent the rest of his life making sure those questions survived.
