Answer:
The philosopher that started the Academy to provide a place for philosophers to teach others about the pursuit of wisdom was Plato.

The Academy was the philosophical school founded by Plato around 387 BC in the gardens of Academos in Athens. Destroyed during the first Mithridic War and refounded in 410 DC, was definitively closed by Emperor Justinian in 529.
