Plato was the most influential of Socrates' students and by far one of the most enthusiastic. He is attributed with recording the majority of Socrates' works, since Socrates had never written down any of his philosophical ventures. In fact, contemporary scholars still find it difficult to differentiate the writings of Socrates and Plato (the Socratic problem).
