Plato -RATIONALIST -world of the Forms, unchanging universal ideas of nessnesses, difficult to know them -physical objects are imperfect, finite instances of the Form of a chair -it is difficult to access the Forms -the Form of x includes this or that good -to this or that good, we need the Form of good -true knowledge is access to the forms -the Forms are the eternal and unchanging reality beneath the constant flux of life -physical world exists but is a shadow of what is real, the Forms exist in an intelligible realm -Error comes from thinking that we have access to truth -physical objects share in and resemble reality but are not identical with it, Forms are more real than tangible objects

Analysis of Lord of the Flies Desire for Power Marxist Criticism

Kaprea Devila Miss Safari English II-H, period 1 18 March 2011 Desire for Power The working class of society has led most, if not all, revolutions in all of history. For example, the working class led the revolution in America when the thirteen colonies desired to separate from Great Britain. In many cases in history, the working class led the revolution and created a shift in power. In chapter six of Lord of the Flies, William Golding expresses the ideas of Marxist Criticism through the tension and conflict between the hunters and the chief by demonstrating that man?s desire for power will cause the revolution led by the hunters.
