Plato and the Forms

The concept of Plato's shape and physics is a very interesting topic. I think Plato's views on forms and physical reality are very similar. Plato said in this reality of our lives, nothing is perfect. Morphology is the perfect ideal or idea that we are striving to achieve in our lives. Plato is impossible to achieve shape in our current reality and our soul leaves our body and we are in the next area we can shape or obtain He said he could achieve complete knowledge and truth only after entering.

In his Dialogue Republic (508e2-3), Plato explained the "form of goodness" through the role of Socrates, more precisely the concept of goodness (ἡτοῦῦγαθοῦῦδέα). Plato introduced several formats to his work, but determined the format of good as the highest level. This format allows philosophers to proceed to philosophical kings in training. It can not be seen or explained explicitly, but once it is identified it makes it possible for people to execute formats of all other formats.

Plato believes that a true philosopher understands its form and understands and understands the form of good. In the formal hierarchy of Plato, the form of good is the highest, the highest reality. It is the root and uniformity of all other forms, so if you clarify them and understand the form of good, they will be able to understand all forms. In the case of Plato's cave, "goodness" is the source of all objects discovered on the ground by the sun, that is, the escaped prisoners. The sun makes everything on the ground visible so that the shape of good can understand all other forms.

According to Plato's formal theory, the substance itself is considered to be special. In the case of Plato, the form is more realistic than the object imitating them. The shape is eternal, but the physical form of the shape is constantly changing. If the form is unqualified, the physical object is qualified and conditional. According to Plato, shape is the essence of various things. A form is the quality of an object that needs to be treated as an object of that type. For example, there are countless chairs in the world, but "the shape of the chair" is the core of every chair. Plato believes that the formal world is beyond our own world, the material world which is the necessary foundation of reality.

Aristotle is a disciple of Plato at his college. Aristotle, Plato agreed that the object has a form associated with them and said that the form said it is eternal, ignoring Plato's claim that the form is independent of matter (objects) To do. Aristotle believes there is no purpose, how does a form exist? According to him, shapes and materials coexist and can not be separated from one another. At the time, "atomist" (philosopher democritus was a pioneer) can also be called a pure materialist. Aristotle also objected to their view. As you know, Plato and Atomist have two extreme points Aristotle tries to find a middlemen by compromising between them. He believes that the material world is as important as shape, so it is worth studying it.
