opic: Plato develops his “two-world” Theory of Forms by expanding upon the assumptions Socrates conveys about eidos in the Euthyphro
Topic: Plato develops his “two-world” Theory of Forms by expanding upon the assumptions Socrates conveys about eidos in the Euthyphro. For Plato, this theory is a hypothesis that he does not attempt to prove. Given that Plato in the Republic appeals to the allegory of the cave, the image of the divided line, and the myth of the sun to explain his theory, can we say that he is using zoetological thinking to explain his ontology?
I have attached supporting material.
Thank you!
