Keywords: Academy, structure, Plato, students, methods, politics
Most researchers, with few exceptions, attribute the founding of the Academy to the time of Plato's return from his first journey to Sicily (c. 387 BC). According to Diogenes of Laertes, the philosopher's meeting with the Sicilian tyrant, Dionysius the Elder, almost ended tragically - the angry ruler of Syracuse first wanted to execute Plato, but then ordered him to be sold into slavery. Annekirides of Cyrenaica ransomed the philosopher, took him to Athens to his friends, who tried to return the money he had spent, but Annekirides not only did not take it, but also bought Plato a garden in the Academy with it (Diog.Laert.,III,20). At that time it was a walled plot of land, a kilometer or so from the Dipylon Gate, dedicated to the hero Academus, whence the name of the school later, was an irrigated grove with skillfully made paths for running and shady alleys.
Subsequently, the Academy was rebuilt and changed its appearance - a palestra was built, in the courtyard of which sports were held, a portico appeared, where philosophical discussions were held, an altar of the Muses with statues was erected, as any philosophical union at that time had an official status of a fellowship for the joint worship of the Muses. It is also known about the veneration of Apollo, Eros and other gods in the Academy. A number of scholars believe, referring to Diogenes of Laertes (Diog.Laert.,III,2), that after his death Plato was deified and his birthday was celebrated on the same day as Apollo, which is connected with the legend of the philosopher's birth from the god.
The creation of the famous dialogues “State”, “Laws” and many others took place already during the existence of the Academy, which suggests the interaction of practical and theoretical spheres in the life of the philosopher. Plato's works, even after his death, were kept in the academic library, which he himself laid the foundation, sparing no expense to purchase books. G.Grote believed that in later times many students sought to get to the Academy to familiarize themselves with these philosophical works in the original or with copies made from them (Grote G.Plato and the other companions of Socrates.Vol.I.L.,1865,P.135).
The academy was a center of attraction for both prominent thinkers of his time and young people. Students flocked to Plato from all over the world, as is well known, but he was not ready to accept all of them. Thus, it is known the case of Eudoxus, still very young, who was in straitened circumstances, turned to Plato and received a cold reception. Years later, having become famous, Eudoxus would be accepted. Let us take the liberty of assuming that the philosophical school was not open to all. Many researchers believe that the students of the Academy were young wealthy aristocrats.
The question of tuition fees, at that, did not stand before Plato. He was a rich man. Although references to this (lack of payment) are rare - for example, in the letter of Dionysius the Younger to Speusippus.
If we turn to the names of the pupils of the Academy, we find not a few paradoxes.... The amazing fate of Euphraeus of Orea, who reached the pinnacle of power at the court of Perdiccas and died in the struggle for independence under Philip, the tragedy associated with the name of Clearchus, the tyrant of Heraclea of Pontus, killed by two other students of Plato - Chion and Leon, the rise of the political career of Cheron of Pelena, who became an Olympic champion and received as a thank you from Alexander the supreme power in his native city - about 331 BC, the perfidy of Timaeus (or Timolaus) from Kizik, who gained the trust of his fellow citizens by distributing grain and gold and later established a cruel tyranny..... Both future tyrants and tyrant-killers came out of the Academy.
At the same time, the school's graduates became famous orators and scientists. The most famous graduate of the Academy was Aristotle, who became famous as a philosopher, but also did not stay away from politics - he became the tutor of Alexander the Great, the creator of the “Athenian Politics” and the one thanks to whom we still use the term “politics”.
Perhaps not succeeding in the political field (three trips to Sicily, to the tyrants of Syracuse), but leaving no hope of creating a more perfect state system, Plato sought to realize his ideas through his students.
“The Riddle of the Early Academy” - so called his work by Harold Cherniss, which as best as possible reflects all that excites researchers to this day (Cherniss.H. The Riddle of the Early Academy.Chicago,1945).
