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.
