Morality is not a human convention but a part of the structure of the universe itself! so the forms are the true and infallible source of all human ideals.
Plato says that the everyday world of the senses is surpassed by an extraordinary and incredible world of “Forms”. The Forms are permanent, timeless and “real”. The Forms explain how we know a red apple when we see one – because it shares the Forms of “Apple” and “Red”. The Forms in this perfect world are of everything from “The Perfect Chair” to “Beauty”, “Goodness” and “The Perfect State”.
Morality is not a human convention but a part of the structure of the universe itself! so the forms are the true and infallible source of all human ideals.
The political conclusion to all this is that perfect infallible knowledge is something that only a few individual specialists can ever possess. Plato says that these specialists must be put in charge of everybody else. The “Guardians” will always know the correct answers to any problem and know what to do.
