Answer to Question 1

Plato considered Forms to be the ideal archetypes or essences of everything that exists, the perfect ideals of every meaningful object and idea.
- This was Plato's solution to the monumental conflict between reality-as-change and reality-as-eternal.

Answer to Question 2

- Rationalism: The position that reason has precedence over the ways of acquiring knowledge or, more strongly, that it is the unique path to knowledge.
- Empiricism: The position that the senses (and sense experience) are primary in acquiring knowledge.
