the visible world | sinnevärlden


Metaphysics and Epistemology. What really exists, and our knowledge thereof.


Plato: The visible world, present to our senses, consists of objects and their images, shadows, and reflections.



The intelligible world consists of the Forms. The Forms are what really exists. The Forms are unchanging and eternal.



Platon i Östberga, Konsumtorget.



The Good is what allows us to understand the Forms.


Sinnevärlden, den vi direkt kan uppfatta med sinnena, är en skugga eller ett återsken av idévärlden, den sanna, eviga och oföränderliga verkligheten. 



Plato one can manage without. But there is transcendence in all things.


Transcendens.
