Plato

Now you can have the wisdom of the ages on your fingertip with this Plato Finger Puppet. Though just four inches tall, this petite Plato has the stature and dignified bearing of a finger puppet twice his size. Use him to host your own mini Symposium, or put him in front of a strong light and reenact the Allegory of The Cave. He's also magnetized, so you can stick him on your refrigerator and experiment with Plato's Law of Affinity.

PLATO
(427 BCE - 347 BCE)
Plato's real name was Aristocles. 'Plato,' meaning 'the broad,' was a nickname referring to his broad shoulders. Along with Aristotle, he laid the foundations of western philosophy. Believing the human mind can at the very least reach for absolute truth, Plato's is a spiritual and optimistic view of life.

Title: Cave-Dweller
So cute, and a great gift for philosophy nerds. I gave it to my high school teacher so now he can act out The Cave. He loved it!

Title: Whither Aristotle?
A fun puppet of one of the ancient greats. Nice head of hair and full beard. Very thoughtful eyes as befits one of the most significant thinkers of any age. As with all the finger puppets, an educational tool and an inspiration to reading.

Title: Never Too Old to Play with Plato
Plato is an excellent gift for friends, family, and philosophy teachers! Fun as a finger-puppet and even better as a magnet. I highly recommend this product for the inner philosopher; you would do well to keep him "on hand."

Title: Baby Plato!
Shakespeare, Beethoven, and Poe are jealous, because Plato is clearly my favourite!! I love this little baby so much- he is so cute! He has the most adorable button nose, and imbedded in his white beard is a little black line of thread as his mouth = SO CUTE!
His Republic may be a bit misguided, but Plato-in puppet form- has found his way straight to my heart!
