The Preparation of Plato-1

He became a very passionate lover of wisdom, and of his teacher. 

"I thank God," he used to say, "that I was born Greek and not barbarian, freeman and not slave, man and not woman; 

but above all, that I was born in the age of Socrates."

He was twenty-eight when the master died; and this tragic end of a quiet life left its mark on every phase of the pupil's thought. 

pupil跟teacher之间的关系比student与teacher之间的关系更为紧密，类似师徒关系而非师生关系。

It filled him with such a scorn of democracy, such a hatred of the mob, as even his aristocratic lineage and breeding had hardly engendered in him; 

it led him to a Catonic resolve that democracy must be destroyed, to be replaced by the rule of the wisest and the best. 

It became the absorbing problem of his life to find a method whereby the wisest and the best might be discovered, and then enabled and persuaded to rule. 

心得：柏拉图主张反民主，democracy must be destroyed, to be replaced by the rule of the wisest and the best.
