Plato’s theory of forms is a philosophical theory arguing that the physical world is chaotic, temporary and not as real as the non physical world which works independently of the physical world.
Platonism involves wanting the best possible outcome in any given situation and reaching out to the divine for the virtues needed to help. Plato’s idea of god is not as a single figure but a transcendent source, and according to Plato, his forms such as goodness and justice exist as god’s thoughts.
Many platonic notions were adopted by the christian church, but according to Plato the virtues bestowed last only as long as required for any given situation whilst in christianity the individual maintains the virtue he/she developed in a situation.
