Plato's Theory of Knowledge

"If the truth of all things is always in the soul, that soul is immortal" (Philosophy Journey 89). This shows that because the soul has the integration of all knowledge, people remember this knowledge through the context of their personal life and use their reasoning. Through the dialogue between Meno and Faedo, Plato generally discussed the memory of the soul and the idea of ​​immortality. Similarly, the Republic, through the three different circumstances shown, Plato shows the idea of ​​the shape.

What is that knowledge? "Knowledge" is defined as "a rational and true belief". In order to "know" we have our own emotions, reasons, recognition and knowledge. According to Plato's knowledge theory, knowledge is available as long as there are reasonable truths and beliefs. Plato's knowledge theory and belief - continuity of knowledge is consistent. Truth is an objective requirement of knowledge. But if you believe something is the truth, it does not necessarily make you think it's real

Plato's theory of remembrance is a reasonable solution to the men's knowledge paradox. The general theme is the theory of recall of Plato. Plato's recall theory is a viable solution to the men's knowledge paradox. In many of his conversations Plato often concludes that we can not know something through the senses. He often concludes that we are familiar with our knowledge in former existence. In Meno, Socrates said, "Because the soul is immortal, born frequently, and I have seen everything here and in the basement, I have not learned anything, so I can remember what was previously known. Things are not surprising ... "In the eyes of many people in Plato

Plato's "memory theory" can be traced back to the idea detailed by him in the "Meno" dialogue. Essentially, Plato believes that our soul has an existing state with formal knowledge. But in the current situation, it loses this knowledge, and all learning refers to the process of remembering this knowledge.

In order to understand the knowledge theory (epistemology) advocated by Plato in formal theory, there is no need to deeply study the details of Plato's ideal situation, as expected, a completely fair country is completely fairly dominated It is sufficient to show that it is a country dominated by a person. Compared to the soul, the ruler of a city state is parallel to the "spirit" (Greek: nous) in the soul. Since the eyeball is an organ that the body can see, "heart" can be thought of as the "organ" of the soul to acquire knowledge. And the perfect justice soul will be "dominated" by the soul with perfect knowledge and perfect wisdom. This "perfect" use means there is no possibility of errors or errors; even if you made a mistake, you can imagine that a better ruler is not making this mistake, so a perfect ruler must be sure I will do the right thing.
