Episode #004 ... Plato
Philosophize This!
What Is a Tree?
Plato thought that nature and the things we saw were the exact same way, eternal, unchanging and not based on perception. To Plato, just as there is an elusive, difficult to define version of what justice is, there's a perfect tree. And all trees we see around us are just inferior copies of that perfect tree. But does it actually exist anywhere in the world? No. Humans can't see or smell or touch the world of forms, but they can think really hard for a really long time about the definitions of these things or concepts.
