Plato's Theory of Forms and the Problem of Beauty
Listen now
Description
In this episode we discuss Plato's theory of Forms and consider if it is helpful in understanding art and beauty today. The theory of Forms or theory of Ideas is a philosophical, concept, or world-view, that the physical world is not as real or true as timeless, absolute, unchangeable ideas of forms. How can this theory be useful in our post modern world? Do we still have any belief in universal truth? This is the basis of our discussion. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/john-gibbs1/message
