Polemon (,
gen.: Πολέμωνος; d. 270/269 BC) of
Athens was an eminent
Platonist philosopher and
Plato's third successor as
scholarch or head of the
Academy from 314/313 to 270/269 BC. A pupil of
Xenocrates, he believed that
philosophy should be practiced rather than just studied, and he placed the highest good in living according to nature.
