Extended information

Plato is the founder of Western objective idealism. His philosophical system is broad and profound, and has a particularly profound influence on his teaching thoughts.

Plato pointed out: The world consists of the "ideal world" and the "phenomenal world". The world of ideas is a real existence and is eternal, while the real world that human senses come into contact with is just a faint shadow of the world of ideas.

It is composed of phenomena, and each phenomenon shows characteristics such as temporary changes due to factors such as time and space. Starting from this, Plato proposed an epistemology of idealism and reminiscence, and used it as the philosophical basis of his teaching theory.
