Plato failed at practically everything he attempted, from giving an account of knowledge and metaphysics to defending and describing justice. Much of Aristotle's work is a veiled refutation of Plato. Plato's primary achievement is as a writer, as an intellectual he was nothing more than a particularly gifted Sophist of the sort Socrates so reviled.
