what are forms in philosophy?

Question

plz put definition not examples

Answer 1

Forms (Eidos) is the philosophical concept of Aristocles (Plato) regarding the perfect and imperfect objects of this world. The perfect belongs to the World of Forms and the Imperfect belongs to our world. The Imperfect are simply copies of the perfect that exists in the World of Eidos. If you see in the Allegory of the cave, the Perfect world belongs to the world with sunlight where the free man (Socrates of Athens) is blinded by the highest luminosity of the sun which is the truth. The Imperfect world is in the cave where the prisoners sees the shadows as the reality of their lives.

Answer 2

What Are Forms

Answer 3

Plato's forms are the originals of all existent things. Rather like an original painting from which prints are made.

It marks the formal beginning of the problems of: universals and particulars, and later: things as they appear and things as they actually are, inherited by christianity in the form of heaven and earth and something that has corrupted metaphysics for centuries.

Answer 5

Plato's forms are concepts arising in the human brain. As such, they are perfect (flawless) in themselves. When we try to replicate a concept physically, it will be an approximation of the "form" and will not be perfect.

Answer 6

I am a born again Christian. I believe Jesus is Lord and God of all. All other religions are based on superstition. The only religion people feel threatened by is Christians. Even gays hate Christians. We are the only ones blocking them from their full agenda.

Utopia for me, as a Christian, would be to stand before my Redeemer and to express my love for what He did to redeem me from slavery to sin. Just to behold His face and to know that I am accepted, in Him, because of what He suffered... that will be Heaven. Location is irrelevant. The word 'Heaven' is used in Christian circles but it's not about being in a place so much as being in a condition of acceptance before my Creator. This means that even now, while on Earth, I get a foretaste of Heaven with knowing the peace of God that passes all understanding. It's the peace Jesus gave to His followers, just before returning to Heaven. It's given freely, as a gift of grace, to all those who humble themselves under God's mighty hand and repentantly turn from sin to follow Jesus. This is the work of the Holy Spirit, who indwells all believers even now. We know our sins have been forgiven and that we have peace with God, through Christ. Our consciences are cleansed and we are liberated to become all that God would have us be. It's a life-time's process, and we sometimes take two steps backwards, but our God is our loving heavenly Father who does not give up on us. He will take us all the way to Heaven, where Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us. I believe this because, many years ago after I'd prayed to God for help, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to see something of just who this Jesus in the Bible actually is. From then on, I have slowly grown in grace and know that "he who has begun a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (as Christians in Philippi were told, centuries ago.) That is my ongoing experience of the faithfulness of God. Because I was enabled to put my faith (trust) in what Jesus had done to redeem me, I then started to walk in that grace and my life has been transformed. Jesus is alive today, and one day He will call me to be with Him in Heaven - not because I deserve it, but because of His immense love.
