Rejected the idea of space as the void saying empty space is impossible.

Time is defined as a measure of motion, it thus relies on motion for it's existence so if the universe was not changing time wouldn't exist.

Most likely came from an aristocratic family

The origin of his name is a mystery: it seems that he wasn't named after a family member, as was typical of the time

Some of his main teachings include Platonic love, the Theory of the Forms, the five regimes, innate knowledge, and others.

Never spoke in his own voice in his writings; instead, he used the character of Socrates as a "mouthpiece"

Aristotle was one of his students; Plato was a follower of Socrates

Theory of the Forms: the sensory world is simply an imitation of a pure, unchanging world of Forms.

Every object or quality in reality has a form (a human, a house, color, character, etc.)

This form is central to the identity of (an object, a quality, etc.)

In different scenarios, something's form can be expressed in different ways. For example, a sword is, in essence, a sword, but this sword may be molded differently depending on the civilization in which it was created. A soldier will make better use of a heavy broadsword, while a pirate would use a light, fast sword.

Form transcends time and space.

Maintains that the true Form of any (object, idea, characteristic, etc.) is the "perfection" of that entity.

In "The Republic", Plato gives us his image of the true Form of civilization. This image includes an education suited to develop love for the community more than love for the individual, the concept of specialization, and the importance of a uniform justice.

35 dialogues and 13 letters (the Epistles) are ascribed to Plato. Not all scholars have reached a popular consensus, though, and some claim that the works were by others. The order that the dialogues were written in is not well known, but they are organized into categories - the "early dialogues" are the best representations of the historical Socrates and contained aporia (philosophical puzzles). His middle works have more positively stated teachings and include the theory of Forms. His late works are more difficult to discern and attempt to answer the questions in his earlier works. His later works also don't include the theory of Forms, because it was believed to have been refuted in Parmenides.
