Plato's theory of Forms was related to which of the following?
- 1. Metaphysics
- 2. Duality
- 3. Rationalism
- 4. Inductivism
A1, 2, 3 and 4
B1, 2 and 3 ✓ Correct
C1, 2 and 4
D2, 3 and 4
Correct answer: (B) 1, 2 and 3 — Items 1, 2 and 3 are correct, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
Explanation
★Items 1, 2 and 3 are correct, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
★The theory of Forms is a metaphysical doctrine.
★It rests on a duality between the world of Forms and the world of senses.
★It is rationalist, since the Forms are grasped by reason.
★Item 4 is wrong, because Plato used deductivism, not inductivism.
★He reasoned from the eternal Forms downwards.
★So the inductivism claim does not fit the theory of Forms.
