Socrates, Plato, & Aristotle

Greek leaders. (http://www.2020site.org/socrates/overview.html )
Plato, one of the earliest philosophers, was born in Athens around 427 B.C.. His mother remarried to a friend of Pericles when her husband died; this politically connected Plato to the oligarchy. He was against the Sophists, but focused on values instead of science. (http://library.thinkquest.org/18775/plato/biop.htm )
Aristotle was one of Plato's students. He was born in 384 B.C.. He left Athens for Asia minor when Plato willed the academy to someone else. He returned in 335 B.C. and was once again turned down for the presidency of the academy. ( http://library.thinkquest.org/18775/aristotle/bioar.htm )
