Plate was on of the first philosophers, he proposed the idea of theory of Forms or theory of ideas, this is a non-material abstract. ”When used in this sense, the word form or idea is often capitalized’. Plato suggests that these forms or ideas are the ‘only true objects of study’ and he proposed that there is the perfect form or the ultimate thing to be. Plato states that everyone in this world has the perfect idea of what they want to be, and is terms of physique, everyone has the perfect body in which they aspire to look like, but Plato says that all of these things are trying to be the perfect form, so in this case they are ‘mimicking’ the perfect form. It can be questioned as to whether everyone has the perfect form in which they want to aspire to look like, or whether everyone has their own perfect form of what they want. Plato uses the idea of a triangle to relate this to, as he says that someones idea of the perfect form/their perfect form never changes over time. For example it can be questioned as to whether over time peoples idea of the perfect body has changed since even in the BC era, and looking back at Greek statues it shows that people still seem to look up to their ‘perfect form’. The forms can be seen as perfect themselves because they do not change. The example of the triangle is described to be as to when someone draws a triangle on a piece of paper, it cannot be said to be beautiful, as it is just a triangle, however the form ‘triangle’ which allows us to understand that the picture on the piece of paper is a triangle is perfect as it is unchangeable. This is because the idea and the concept of the triangle is the same to everyone, which can be said for body image, and it can be questioned as to whether everyone has the same body image which they look up to, or as we are individuals we all have a different ‘perfect form’ which we aspire to look like.
