Philosophers
have often wondered how we recognize so many different objects as belonging to one group even though they all look different, such as
tables
for instance. How is it that we recognize the
table properties
from the
finite
set of tables that we have seen in our life?
Plato
's solution to this was that this information is
a priori
in nature.
Our mind
somehow connects to the Realm of
Forms
where the
essence
of
everything
lies. Our mind understands tableness from the absolute table that lies in the Realm of Forms and then recognizes similar objects in the world in which we exist. According to this theory,
the essence of good
,
evil
, and everything else we know resides there to give us an
absolute
basis on which to make judgements.
