Episode #004 ... Plato

Socratic Method and Plato's Theory of Forms
Socrates uses the Socratic method to guide a boy to reach new conclusions on his own, illustrating the idea that we are born with total knowledge of the world of forms. Plato's theory of forms suggests that understanding the world of forms involves using the soul's ability to reason to remember them. Plato's theory evolved over time in response to criticisms, but it laid the foundation for true knowledge and challenged the prevailing sophist idea of relativism, emphasizing the importance of reason over the senses in acquiring knowledge.
