About us

The Czech Plato Society was founded in 1997 on the initiative of Aleš Havlíček (1956–2015) on the occasion of an international Platonic conference on Plato’s dialogue Republic and Laws. The main aim of our society is the promotion of the study of Plato’s philosophy. In particular, we organize seminars, conferences and meetings of those interested in Plato’s philosophy, and we publish conference proceedings.
