The Academy (Ancient Greek: Ἀκαδημία) was founded by Plato (428/427 BC – 348/347 BC) in ca. 387 BC in Athens. Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) studied there for twenty years (367 BC – 347 BC) before founding his own school, the Lyceum. The Academy persisted throughout the Hellenistic period as a skeptical school, until coming to an end after the death of Philo of Larissa in 83 BC. Although philosophers continued to teach Plato's philosophy in Athens throughout the Roman era, it was not until 410 AD that a revived Academy was established as a center for Neoplatonism, persisting until 529 AD when it was finally closed by Justinian I.
The Platonic Academy has been cited by historians as the first higher learning institution in the Western world.
Site
Before the Akademia was a school, and even before Cimon enclosed its precincts with a wall, it contained a sacred grove of olive trees dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, outside the city walls of ancient Athens. The archaic name for the site was Hekademia (Ἑκαδήμεια), which by classical times evolved into Akademia and was explained, at least as early as the beginning of the 6th century BC, by linking it to an Athenian hero, a legendary "Akademos".
Platoń[ˈplatɔɲ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Czarnożyły, within Wieluń County, Łódź Voivodeship, in central Poland. It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4mi) west of Czarnożyły, 10km (6mi) north-west of Wieluń, and 88km (55mi) south-west of the regional capital Łódź.
He is first attested as exarch in 645. By 649, when his successor Olympius is named as being at Ravenna, he was already back at the imperial court in Constantinople, functioning as the advisor of Emperor Constans II on the Italian situation regarding Pope Martin I's resistance to Monotheletism.
He is last attested in 653. A brother, the presbyter Theocharistos, and a brother-in-law or son-in-law named Theodore Chilas, are also attested two years later.

In the Ruins of Plato's Academy
In this episode (/low budget documentary) we are making a visit to the humble ruins of Plato's Academy — the place where philosophy (and the European intellectual tradition) came of age. This is the school Plato founded in 387 BC and where he wrote all of his dialogues. It's also the place where Aristotle was a lector (a reader) for two decades before becoming tutor to Alexander the Great and founding his school, the Lyceum.

Plato's Academy ruins in the city of Athens
In this video you can see one of less known places in Athens city which is so rich in archeological sites.
The Plato's Academy has a small digital museum and it's free to visit.
Plato is considered one of the great names in Philosophy, along with his teacher Socrates and his pupil Aristotle.
In this place you can feel the palpitation of his teachings. In a spiritual meaning of course because only stones remain. And only stones will remain if we don't protect and keep the knowledge from our ancestors.

Plato's Academy: A Journey through Time
Introduction:
Step into the ancient world of Greece, where the olive groves whispered secrets and the pursuit of wisdom echoed through the hallowed halls of Plato's Academy.

Plato's Academy: A Journey through Time
Introduction:
Step into the ancient world of Greece, where the olive groves whispered secrets and the pursuit of wisdom echoed through the hallowed halls of Plato's Academy. In this article, we embark on a captivating journey to unravel the mysteries surrounding one of history's most renowned institutions—the birthplace of philosophical inquiry, Plato's Academy.
The Birth of the Academy:
Founded around 387 BCE, Plato's Academy was more than just a school; it was a sanctuary for the pursuit of knowledge. The term "academy" itself is derived from the name of the hero Academus, and it symbolizes a place where intellectual pursuits and philosophical dialogues flourished beneath the open sky.
Students and Teaching Style:
The Academy attracted a diverse array of students, ranging from philosophers and mathematicians to statesmen and poets. Its teachings were rooted in the Socratic method, a dynamic form of dialogue where questions and discussions led to the discovery of deeper truths. Imagine students engaged in lively debates under the shade of olive trees, their minds alight with the sparks of intellectual curiosity.
Impact on Philosophical Thought:
Plato's Academy served as a crucible for shaping the minds of some of antiquity's greatest thinkers. Among its illustrious alumni was Aristotle, who would go on to become one of history's most influential philosophers. The Academy's impact extended far beyond its physical boundaries, leaving an indelible mark on the development of Western philosophy.
Closure and the End of an Era:
The Academy thrived for nearly nine centuries, weathering the storms of political changes and cultural shifts. However, in 529 CE, the Academy faced an unexpected adversary—Emperor Justinian I. The closure of this bastion of intellectual exploration marked the end of an era, leaving scholars and thinkers mourning the loss of a cherished institution.
Emperor Justinian I: The Unlikely Adversary:
Emperor Justinian I, a figure more associated with legal reforms than philosophical pursuits, ordered the closure of the Academy. The reasons behind this decision remain complex and multifaceted. Some suggest it was part of a broader anti-pagan policy, while others point to financial constraints. Whatever the motivation, the shuttering of the Academy signaled the end of a glorious chapter in the history of philosophy.
Legacy Beyond Closure:
While the physical doors of Plato's Academy closed, its legacy endured. The ideas, debates, and intellectual fervor that once filled its halls continued to reverberate through the annals of history. The closure, rather than extinguishing the flame of philosophical inquiry, scattered its embers, sparking new conversations and inspiring thinkers in the years to come.
Conclusion: The Echoes of Ancient Wisdom:
As we reflect on the journey through Plato's Academy, we discover not just a school but a symbol of intellectual resilience. From its humble beginnings under the ancient Grecian skies to its closure at the hands of Emperor Justinian I, the Academy's legacy lives on in the minds of those who continue to seek knowledge, engage in meaningful dialogue, and embark on their own quests for wisdom. The echoes of ancient wisdom, once nurtured under the olive trees, continue to resonate in the ever-evolving tapestry of human thought.

PLATO’S ACADEMY (Ακαδημία Πλάτωνος)
Directed by Filippos Tsitos
Four ethnocentric Greek slackers spend their days smugly watching industrious immigrants hard at work in the Plato's Academy neighborhood of Athens. When one of the four discovers that he has Albanian roots, the men's attitudes and their friendship are severely challenged. This intelligent and insightful social satire is generally considered one of the best Greek films of recent years, praised for transcending the parameters of gentle comedy to seriously examine the issue of immigration and to attempt a redefinition of what it means to be Greek.
About us
Hellenic Film Society USA is dedicated to promoting Greek cinema throughout the US by sharing the richness of Greek films with a wider American audience and to preserving the film heritage of Greece. We present feature films, documentaries, and film shorts made by Greek and Greek-American filmmakers, and also those that promote the cultures of Greece and Cyprus. We also host interviews with filmmakers and panel discussions about different aspects of Greek cinema.
In this episode (/low budget documentary) we are making a visit to the humble ruins of Plato's Academy — the place where philosophy (and the European intellectual tradition) came of age. This is the school Plato founded in 387 BC and where he wrote all of his dialogues. It's also the place where Aristotle was a lector (a reader) for two decades before becoming tutor to Alexander the Great and founding his school, the Lyceum.

In this video you can see one of less known places in Athens city which is so rich in archeological sites.
The Plato's Academy has a small digital museum and it's free to visit.
Plato is considered one of the great names in Philosophy, along with his teacher Socrates and his pupil Aristotle.
In this place you can feel the palpitation of his teachings. In a spiritual meaning of course because only stones remain. And only stones will remain if we don't protect and keep the knowledge from our ancestors.

Plato's Academy: A Journey through Time
Introduction:
Step into the ancient world of Greece, where the olive groves whispered secrets and the pursuit of wisdom echoed through the hallowed halls of Plato's Academy. In this article, we embark on a captivating journey to unravel the mysteries surrounding one of history's most renowned institutions—the birthplace of philosophical inquiry, Plato's Academy.
The Birth of the Academy:
Founded around 387 BCE, Plato's Academy was more than just a school; it was a sanctuary for the pursuit of knowledge. The term "academy" itself is derived from the name of the hero Academus, and it symbolizes a place where intellectual pursuits and philosophical dialogues flourished beneath the open sky.
Students and Teaching Style:
The Academy attracted a diverse array of students, ranging from philosophers and mathematicians to statesmen and poets. Its teachings were rooted in the Socratic method, a dynamic form of dialogue where questions and discussions led to the discovery of deeper truths. Imagine students engaged in lively debates under the shade of olive trees, their minds alight with the sparks of intellectual curiosity.
Impact on Philosophical Thought:
Plato's Academy served as a crucible for shaping the minds of some of antiquity's greatest thinkers. Among its illustrious alumni was Aristotle, who would go on to become one of history's most influential philosophers. The Academy's impact extended far beyond its physical boundaries, leaving an indelible mark on the development of Western philosophy.
Closure and the End of an Era:
The Academy thrived for nearly nine centuries, weathering the storms of political changes and cultural shifts. However, in 529 CE, the Academy faced an unexpected adversary—Emperor Justinian I. The closure of this bastion of intellectual exploration marked the end of an era, leaving scholars and thinkers mourning the loss of a cherished institution.
Emperor Justinian I: The Unlikely Adversary:
Emperor Justinian I, a figure more associated with legal reforms than philosophical pursuits, ordered the closure of the Academy. The reasons behind this decision remain complex and multifaceted. Some suggest it was part of a broader anti-pagan policy, while others point to financial constraints. Whatever the motivation, the shuttering of the Academy signaled the end of a glorious chapter in the history of philosophy.
Legacy Beyond Closure:
While the physical doors of Plato's Academy closed, its legacy endured. The ideas, debates, and intellectual fervor that once filled its halls continued to reverberate through the annals of history. The closure, rather than extinguishing the flame of philosophical inquiry, scattered its embers, sparking new conversations and inspiring thinkers in the years to come.
Conclusion: The Echoes of Ancient Wisdom:
As we reflect on the journey through Plato's Academy, we discover not just a school but a symbol of intellectual resilience. From its humble beginnings under the ancient Grecian skies to its closure at the hands of Emperor Justinian I, the Academy's legacy lives on in the minds of those who continue to seek knowledge, engage in meaningful dialogue, and embark on their own quests for wisdom. The echoes of ancient wisdom, once nurtured under the olive trees, continue to resonate in the ever-evolving tapestry of human thought.
Plato was one of the world's earliest and possibly greatest philosophers. He matters because of his devotion to making humanity more fulfilled.

The Academy (Ancient Greek: Ἀκαδημία) was founded by Plato (428/427 BC – 348/347 BC) in ca. 387 BC in Athens. Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) studied there for twenty years (367 BC – 347 BC) before founding his own school, the Lyceum. The Academy persisted throughout the Hellenistic period as a skeptical school, until coming to an end after the death of Philo of Larissa in 83 BC. Although philosophers continued to teach Plato's philosophy in Athens throughout the Roman era, it was not until 410 AD that a revived Academy was established as a center for Neoplatonism, persisting until 529 AD when it was finally closed by Justinian I.
The Platonic Academy has been cited by historians as the first higher learning institution in the Western world.
Site
Before the Akademia was a school, and even before Cimon enclosed its precincts with a wall, it contained a sacred grove of olive trees dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, outside the city walls of ancient Athens. The archaic name for the site was Hekademia (Ἑκαδήμεια), which by classical times evolved into Akademia and was explained, at least as early as the beginning of the 6th century BC, by linking it to an Athenian hero, a legendary "Akademos".
Plato’s deathbed details divulged New Plato lore has been discovered in charred papyrus scrolls thanks to AI, according to Italian researchers, who have been examining a set of scrolls that were buried under volcanic ash in Pompeii.
