Platonic concepts are those which are discussed in the works of Plato, the pre-Christian Greek philosopher. These writings are usually framed as records of philosophical exchanges between various Greek citizens and Socrates, Plato's mentor.
Concepts or ideas attributable to Plato are Platonic, whereas those which are attributable to Socrates are Socratic.
