“First-Molded” (Greek) Genesis 2:7: God made Adam out of “dust from the ground.” Humans = “in God’s image” Plato = Ideal Forms ἀ ρχέτυπος, Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek- English Lexicon, on Perseus

Plato’s allegory of the cave We are prisoners chained in a cave, looking at a wall Everything we see = just shadow of the true (original) FORM Archetype = IDEAL FORM

WHAT IS BEAUTY? Plato: Everything “beautiful” that we see is a SHADOW of the IDEAL FORM of Beauty…
