The Philosopher-King: Plato

The Theory of Forms

•In Plato’s metaphysics, the level of being consists of timeless essences or entities called Forms.

•Such a metaphysics is sometimes called transcendental, because it asserts that there is a plane of existence that transcends, or goes beyond, our ordinary perception of things.

•The Greek root for form (eidos) is sometimes translated as idea or concept. A form, then. is a purely mental entity, but one that is independent of all minds (in other words, its reality does not depend on the minds that think it). And although the forms actually exist, they are not physical objects. Their reality is purely ideal or conceptual.
