Plato’s Theory of Forms

Close your eyes and imagine a perfect circle - Now open your eyes and try to draw one.

While it may sound uselessly abstract, Plato’s Theory of Forms is actually the bedrock of much Western thought. Early Christian writers, for example, adopted Plato’s theory to build their understanding of God and heaven. It was also a major influence on early scientific thought. And it continues to affect our thinking today.

For example, replace the idea of the perfect circle with the perfect justice system. Many people believe that a truly fair, truly ideal system of justice is “out there.” They also believe that the current system falls short of that vision. Our belief that a standard, fixed, and ideal justice system is “out there�� as a goal to aim toward is fundamentally Platonic.

This belief that all things possess inherent, discoverable qualities has a name: “Essentialism.”

You are as old as the universe, because matter cannot be created or destroyed. At the deepest level - you are the universe experiencing itself.
