AS students work on Plato and the Forms

Y12 students used playdough to illustrate the heirarchy of the Forms. Plato believed that good was the highest Form that gave knowlege of all other things - this is represented by the sun. Then came Forms of universal qualities such as justice and truth. Next came Forms of concepts and ideals, followed by physical living objects and finally inanimate objects. More information can be found on p16 of the text book.
