    PLATO
    ▪ He was a philosopher in Classical
    Greece and the founder of the
    Academy in Athens, the first
    institution of higher learning in the
    Western world.

    Our Lady of Mercy Academy, Taysan, Batangas


    PLATO’S Ø
    ❖Itsgoal is to recognize the idea of
    the Good for the attainment of the
    good life.
    ❖Before we were born, we had
    perfect knowledge as part of the
    World Soul.

    Our Lady of Mercy Academy, Taysan, Batangas


    PLATO’S Ø
    ❖But the moment that we were born
    and when our soul joins the body,
    the body has the effect of corrupting
    the soul.
    ❖Thus, it makes the soul forget the
    knowledge that it has before joining
    the body.

    Our Lady of Mercy Academy, Taysan, Batangas


    PLATO’S Ø
    ❖For this reason, Plato claims that
    “Knowledge is remembrance.”
    ❖remember the good = regain
    knowledge = having wisdom
