Plato’s philosophy: Forms, caves, chariots, and cities
from PhilosophyMT 15-minute philosophy lectures · host Adrian Camilleri
In this first episode of 15-minute lectures, we’ll discover Plato’s theory of Forms, or theory of Ideas, and how he explains knowledge by using the allegory of the cave. We will also look at how he divided the soul into three parts, known as the theory of a tripartite soul, explaining it by comparing the psyche to a chariot, and how he applies this structure to the city-state.
