Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely… broad wholesome, charitable views… cannot be acquired by vegetating in ones little corner of the earth. Mark Twain (via myownmelt) (via verbadjectivenoun) (via quote-book)

The Theory of Forms.

colporteur:

Plato’s Theory of Forms asserts that Forms (or Ideas), and not the material world of change known to us through sensation, possess the highest and most fundamental kind of reality. The Forms are the only true objects of study that can provide us with genuine knowledge. Plato spoke of forms (sometimes capitalized in translations: The Forms) in formulating his solution to the problem of universals.

Suppose a person were to make all kinds of figures of gold…—somebody points to one of them and asks what it is. By far the safest and truest answer is [to say] that it is gold; and not to call the triangle or any other figures which are formed in the gold “these” as though they had existence; and the same argument applies to the universal nature which receives all bodies —that must always be called the same; for, while receiving all things, she never departs at all from her own nature, and never…assumes a form like that of any of the things which enter into her; … But the forms which enter into and go out of her are the likenesses of real existences modelled after their patterns in a wonderful and inexplicable manner….

The forms that we see, according to Plato, are not real, but literally mimic the real Forms. In the Allegory of the cave expressed in Republic, the things we ordinarily perceive in the world are characterized as shadows of the real things, which we do not perceive directly. That which the observer understands when he views the world mimics the archetypes of the many types and properties (that is, of universals) of things we see all around us.

Reminds me of The Books, though I guess anything with found-sound spoken-word clips would.

Thanks for the info!
