Q This week, we initiate our exploration of the 'really real' world according to Plato. Our attention is focused on the object of contemplation that lead philosophers to wisdom: the Forms. Questions that get investigated this week include: • Could it be the case that the world we perceive is not truly real? • Are there different "levels" of reality? Isn't it the case that a thing either exists or it doesn't, period? • Why did Plato believe that the non-visible, intelligible Form of Beauty is 'more real' and 'clearer' than these beautiful flowers, right here in front of me?
