Plato’s Concept of the Ideals

Platos theory means that what we can sense around us (for example a precede) is just a mere shadow of the perfect version which exists in the world of Forms. The perfect version of a chair is one in which for fills its purpose e. . to be comfortable and to be sat on. Plato believed that everything had a perfect Form, from objects much(prenominal) as pens and books to things such as beauty and justice. He believed that to experience the world of Forms we had to become perfect philosophers. Plato introduced the doctrine of analogy of the cave to try and illustrate that human being live and only understand a region of shadows.

Plato also believes that that qualitys, such as truth, beauty and justice, all have a universal mankind, a reality of their own and Plato believes that we have an ingrained knowledge of their true Forms. They act ad s cause, source, or necessary, a primary condition for the existence of secondary objects (such as chairs) and actions in the world.
