WHAT DOES THAT FORM OF THE CHAIR LOOK LIKE? IS THE FORM OF “BEAUTY” ITSELF BEAUTIFUL?

Plato also claims that only the Forms are “real” and that somehow particulars are “less real”, as if reality were a matter of degree. It’s a weird idea, and one that Lewis Carroll (1832-98) had fun with in his gradually fading Cheshire Cat, which oscillates between being real, half-real and non-existent.

True and Certain Knowledge

Plato conceives of knowledge as something that only a few experts will ever possess. Because he believes that “knowing” and “meeting” are virtually the same thing, he then maintains that real knowledge has to be a kind of personal and mystical encounter.
