摘　　要：Here I will examine the resemblances and similarities between Plato and two other personages, Confucius and the Buddha, who were his near-contempo- raries, and who enabled a breakthrough. The Platonic break with the world of bodies and the sphere of belief, in favor of a level of intelligible realities, the models of the sensible realities explained by mathematics and moved by the soul, explains the specificity of the Western world, in the field of science, politics, ethics, and even religion.
