This video looks at Plato's Theory of Forms. He believed that there was an eternal world beyond our ordinary perception, a world that he referred to as the Ideal Realm. It is in the Ideal Realm, or the World of Forms, where we can find true knowledge. But how do we access this world?
Our videos are based on content from our Who the hell is..? series of books, which take complicated theories and present them in an engaging, accessible and jargon-free way. Take a look at our whole series here: www.whothehellis.co.uk/
