About This Quote
I know the mind of ancient souls by reading ancient books. This quote comes from Plato who was a philosopher and writer. Plato was one of the founders of western philosophy and the “father of science” because he was one of the first to do systematic studies in all areas of knowledge. He is also credited with being the “inventor” of many ideas, including the concept of geometry, proof, and dialectic.
