Plato: The Essence Of Being

In this track, I explain three fundamental elements of Plato's philosophy: his theory of Forms (the core of his philosophy), doctrine of anamnesis and allegory of the cave. I also examine the context out of which they emerged (the problem Plato was responding to in formulating his theories), with particular reference to Parmenides and Heraclitus, and show how these three elements are intimately connected.
