- 2. Idealistic
- 3. A dualist
- 4. One who adopted the inductive approach
A1 and 2
B1 and 4
C1, 2 and 3 ✓ Correct
D2, 3 and 4
Correct answer: (C) 1, 2 and 3 — Items 1, 2 and 3 describe Plato, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
Explanation
★Items 1, 2 and 3 describe Plato, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
★Plato was a functionalist who gave each class its proper role.
★He was an idealist who sought the ideal form of the state.
★He was a dualist who separated the world of forms from the world of senses.
★Item 4 is wrong, because Plato adopted the deductive, not the inductive, approach.
★He reasoned from first principles, while Aristotle was more inductive.
★So the inductive label does not fit Plato.
