Platonism and Materialism: A Reasoned Argument. This paper is about the idealist/materialist argument that has continued in western philosophy since the days before Plato. It takes as a starting point Plato's statement in the Republic book V that those who live as though the visible (e.g. perceptible) world were the only reality are living in a dream. The author argues that there is no necessity for the world of forms, and that it serves only to explain the complex "faulty behavior" of the sensate world. The reality that the author cogently argues for is that the senses, and by implication the sensed world, appear faulty because each individual has his/her own perspective on received sense data. 3 pgs.
