Question

What is theory of forms by Plato ?

Answer 1

The ancient Greek philosopher Plato (420s-340s BCE) did a lot to change the way we think about the world, in everything from mathematics to ethics to logic. But perhaps one of his most influential contributions to philosophy was the Theory of Forms. In basic terms, Plato's Theory of Formsasserts that the physical world is not really the 'real' world; instead, ultimate reality exists beyond our physical world. Plato discusses this theory in a few different dialogues, including the most famous one, called 'The Republic.' It is also likely that Plato inherited some of this theory from his mentor, Socrates.

Answer 2

Plato calls this spiritual realm the Realms of forms (also called Realm of ideals) . Plato's Theory of Forms assert that the physical realm is only a shadow , or image , of the reality of the realm of the forms.
