Do you know of any? Has Plato ever spoken of peace? Direction towards any thinker would be appreciated. Cheers!

The question is a little vague, do you mean thinkers writing on nonviolence, do you mean peace in a political sense or peace in a social context? Could you be more specific in your question?

Also, for future reference, you posted this in a debate forum, you should probably have put this in a discussion area such as General Chat since you don't have a question for debate.

Are we limited to ancient thinkers?
Arguably Jesus of Nazareth, Gautama Buddha, Mahavira and Aristophanes.

More modern, William Penn, Bernard Bolzano, Thích Nhất Hạnh, Martin Luther King, Jr., Bertrand Russell, Simone Weil, Jane Addams, Bertha von Suttner, Mohandas K Gandhi, Leo Tolstoy, Frédéric Passy, Aldous Huxley, Han Ryner, Théodore Eugène César Ruyssen, Christian Renoux, Louis Lecoin, Émile Chartier, Tom Stonier, Martin Buber, Thomas Upham, Richard Gregg, Jessie Wallace Hughan and Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith.
Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
First Epistle to the Church of the Thessalonians
The truth will make you free.
