believed that a human was comprised of a body‚ which is physical‚ and a soul‚ which is spiritual. His ideas on the subject‚ although not originally his‚ became the first fully developed ideas in Western Philosophy of human beings consisting of two parts.

Plato’s idea of the tripartite soul is an analogy to understand how human nature works. It is represented in a picture of a charioteer‚ and two horses.
