Platonic Theory

Platonic Theory, founded by the philosopher Plato, posits that beyond our physical world, there exists a realm of ideal forms or ideas, which are perfect and unchanging. These forms represent the true essence of things we encounter in the material world. For example, while there are many chairs, the "idea" of a chair—its perfect form—exists in this abstract realm. According to Plato, our reality is a reflection of these ideal forms, and gaining knowledge involves recognizing and understanding these deeper truths, rather than just what we see and experience around us.
