Talk:Platonic realism

This is very abstract. Simple English Reading in Philosophy, anyone? Sooner or later, this subject has to be tackled.

If only for the poor folks in non-Western cultures who don't understand our strange pursuit of ideals via violence etc.

I agree, Platonism is probably one of the most basic concepts in philosophy. I hope I have improved this article a little by using the simpler term perfect and perfection to the more complex ideal, I also included a short bit about what Plato actually believed and gave the philosophy it's other name or anti realism. --Sim 00:04, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
