Plato - The First Cognitive Science in History

Plato is deeply influenced by the natural philosophers that we talked about last time. He's going to create the first psychological theory in history. With plato you can really see the beginning, not just of science, but the beginning of cognitive science. We know that plato spent some time with a pythagorean community and he seems to have gone through something there. So plato develops a particular theory about why human beings do foolish things.
