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
