Most people have indulged in the perfect wine, made love with the perfect person while possibly wearing the perfect outfit. Or did they? Does perfection exist, if so can we achieve it? No. Nothing in this world is perfect because it is impossible to create perfection. According to Plato's Theory of Forms, perfection cannot exist in the physical world but only in the domain of philosophers; those who choose to hide deeper in the veiled mysteries of metaphysics. According to Plato, his theory of forms states that perfection lives only in the realm of thought. There is only one ideal of each ideal and the rest is just a copy. This creation is called a form, the most perfect representation of an idea. In the physical world, everything is a copy of these forms and all copies are imperfect. Plato believed in two worlds; the intelligible world and the illusionist world. The intelligible world is one where everything is immutable and eternal. We can only grasp the intelligible world with our minds. It is the world of ideas and not of the senses. A place where there are perfect forms of the things we know on Earth. According to Plato, everything in the world we live in is an illusion. All objects are only shadows of their true forms. His theory further states that every group of objects with the same challenging properties must have an ideal shape. For example, in the class of wine glasses, there must be one in particular that is the ideal wine glass. All others would fall into this ideal form. Plato's theory of forms draws parallels with the allegory of the cave, highlighting the concept that human beings are ignorant of true perfection. In his writings, Plato uses symbols to convey veiled meaning. The philosopher says: “The prisoners are in the middle of the paper… they know true perfection. Since an ideal can never stand up to a reality, nothing can be truly perfect. Philosophy is a subject for which there is no answer or solid argument to any question. Plato's beliefs were created from educated guesses and provide a valid argument. One can continue one's journey on this Earth trying to find true perfection, but the chances are very slim according to Philosophy. Rather, one must embark on a more adventurous journey, a journey into the spirit since it is the only dwelling of true perfection. A journey into a Philosophy SophiaWorks CitedMLA CITATION1.
