        The aim of this paper is to view Plato's philosophy through the lens of contemporary media philosophy and to review the latter from the point of view of the former, discussing in particular what kind of media philosopher he would be today. I emphasize three key mediological ideas at the core of Plato's thought: our inner thoughts are made of words and images because we think through technologies of the word and of the image outside the mind (§ 1); digital media and technologies represent a pharmakon and thus we should be aware of their cognitive risks while also being sensitive to their cognitive possibilities (§ 2); virtual reality, which presents itself as a strange and peculiar presence, does, in fact, exist and does offer affordances (§ 3). Thus, I argue that Plato would be among those (not so many) contemporary media philosophers who intend not only to understand what (new digital) media are, but also to find a way to think through them while facing all the tensions and ambiguities that this approach implies.
        Šio straipsnio tikslas -- pažvelgti į Platono filosofiją iš šiuolaikinės medijų filosofijos perspektyvos ir apžvelgti pastarąją pirmosios požiūriu, tarp kitų keliant ir klausimą, koks medijų filosofas šiandien būtų Platonas. Platono mąstymo šerdyje autorius pabrėžia tris esmines mediologines idėjas: mes mąstome žodžiais ir vaizdais, nes mąstome per žodžio ir vaizdo technologijas esančias anapus mūsų (§ 1); skaitmeninės medijos ir technologijos reiškiasi farmakoniškai, todėl turėtume įsisąmoninti rizikas, kurias jos kelia pažinimui, o sykiu būti jautrūs jų pažintinėms galimybėms (§ 2); virtuali realybė, prisistatanti kaip keista ir savita esatis, iš tiesų egzistuoja ir siūlo veikimo galimybes (§ 3). Galiausiai straipsnio autorius teigia, kad Platonas būtų tarp tų (negausių) šiuolaikinių medijų filosofų, norinčių ne tik suprasti, kas yra (naujosios skaitmeninės) medijos, bet ir atrasti būdą mąstyti per jas, drąsiai susiduriant su visomis įtampomis ir dviprasmybėmis, kurias implikuoja ši prieiga.
