Most people have abandoned themselves to the perfect wine, made love with the perfect person, perhaps wearing the perfect dress. Or did they? Does perfection exist and 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 realm 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. Of every ideal there is only one and the rest is just a copy. This creation is called form, the most flawless 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 illusionistic world. The intelligible world is where everything is immutable and eternal. We can grasp the intelligible world only with our mind. It is the world of ideas and not of the senses. A place where perfect forms of the things we know on Earth exist. According to Plato, everything in the world we live in is an illusion. All objects are only shadows of their true form. His theory also states that any group of objects that have 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 under this ideal form. Plato's Theory of Forms draws parallels to The Allegory of the Cave, highlighting the concept of humans being ignorant of true perfection. In writing, Plato uses symbols to convey a veiled meaning. The philosopher says: “Prisoners …… middle of paper …… true perfection. Since an ideal can never correspond to a reality, nothing can be truly perfect. Philosophy is a subject where there is no valid answer or argument for any question. Plato's beliefs were created through plausible assumptions and provide a valid argument. You can continue your journey on this Earth trying to find true perfection, however the chances are very slim according to Philosophy. We should rather undertake a more adventurous journey, a journey into the mind since it is the only seat of true perfection. A Journey in a Philo SophiaWorks CitedMLA CITATION1.
