His most celebrated student was Aristotle (348-22 BCE). So central were intellectual exchange and questioning for Plato that he wrote his works as dialogues, one voice being that of his own true-life tutor Socrates (\u003ci\u003ec.\u003c\/i\u003e 470-399 BCE). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarold Tarrant\u003c\/b\u003e (Introduction and Abridgement) studied at Cambridge and Durham Universities, and worked at the University of Sydney from 1973 to 1993, when he took up the Chair of Classics at the University of Newcastle, Australia.
