The Academy he founded was by some accounts the world's first university & in it he trained his greatest student, the equally influential philosopher Aristotle. Plato's recurring fascination was the distinction between ideal forms & everyday experience, & how it played out both for individuals & for societies. in the "Republic," his most famous work, he envisioned a civilization governed not by lowly appetites but by the pure wisdom of a philosopher-king.
