Document Summary
It is the product of a divine mind if any mind. For plato, forms are not a product of society or any person"s mind. Forms are eternal and indestructible they are permanent. They are real, forms exist, but they are not physical. They can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Forms are objects, and have an external manifestation: objects however, do not represent the essential/perfect form. Humans are perhaps the most tragic creatures that exist because they lose their humanity/become corrupted by choice. S1: objects, plants, animals, we can see/describe these things, but they are not forms because they are simply appearances and therefore, they are subject to our judgement, also, they can break down. S2: the visible world we don"t see clearly, we see indistinctly and partially. Includes things used to imitate an object (e. g. art) It"s not the same as the object itself, it"s an imitation.
