Plato is considered one of the most prominent philosophers in the history of mankind. Being the son of an aristocrat and student of Socrates, he, according to his brother Diogenes Laerce could create a synthesis of the theories of Heraclitus, Pythagoras and Socrates-that is, all those sages, who is proud of ancient Greece. The original teachings of Plato about the ideas – it is an initial and Central point of the entire work of the philosopher. During his life he wrote 34 of the dialog and all in one way or another mentioned in this theory. It permeated the whole philosophy of Plato. The doctrine of ideas can be divided into three stages of formation. Plato's Teaching about ideas

The First of them – is the time after the death of Socrates. Then the philosopher tried to explain the theory of his teacher, and such dialogues as the ‘Simpozion” and “He” for the first time appears the concept of the idea of absolute Good and Beauty. The second phase – life of Plato to Sicily. There he was influenced by the Pythagorean school and has clearly articulated its “objective idealism”. And finally, the third stage-final. Then the doctrine of Plato's ideas acquired a complete and clear structure, became what we now know it.

Filosofia Plato the doctrine of ideasIn the already mentioned dialogue, the ‘Simpozion” or “Feast”, the philosopher, for example, the speeches of Socrates describes in detail how the idea (or essence) of beauty could be better and truer to its embodiments. It was there that he first suggested that the world of things and of the sensible phenomena – not real. Because the objects that we see, feel, try, are never the same. They are constantly changing, arise and perish. But they exist because they all have something from higher, true world. It's another dimension consists of incorporeal types. The teachings of Plato about the ideas calls them by Eidos.

They never change, never die and never take birth. They are eternal, because their existence is true. They of anything do not depend, neither from space nor time, and never obey. These types are both a cause, the essence and purpose of things in our world. In addition, they represent some of the samples, which then were visible to us things and events. And all beings with a soul, striving in this world is true existence, where neither evil nor death. the Doctrine of ideas Plato brieflyBecause the teachings of Plato about the ideas calls the Eidos and at the same time.

This true world is opposed to our, “lower” not only, as a copy of the original, or the essence of the phenomenon. It also has a moral separation – good and evil. After all, Eidos also have a single source, as our things are rooted in the ideas. In this prototype, spawned other reasons and purposes, is absolute. This is the idea of the Good. It is the root cause not only of goodness but also of beauty and harmony. She is faceless and is above all, including God. It crowns the pyramid of ideas. The Creator God represents in the Platonic system of personal, lower start, although it is very close to the main Eidos Good.

This idea is an eternal and transcendental in relation to our world unity. It generates (via the Creator God) the Kingdom of Eidos, the true existence. Ideas are also doing “the world of souls”. He's still included in the system of true existence, even though they occupy the lower tier. More below – imaginary existence, the world of things. And the last step is a matter which is essentially nothingness. All in the integrity of the system is a pyramid of existence. This is the teaching about the ideas of Plato, are summarised in this article.
