Plato's Forms Perfect the Social Sciences

    Plato's forms are limitless. Each of them have ladders leading to a divine essence of what the Form is about. Think of an object, idea, moment, any noun really. All of them have ideal representations in the collective conscience, archetypes of human cognition. They are mapped on a three-dimensional plane, upheld by the infinite ladders leading from earth to heaven. The ladder of love is only the beginning. As reality is connected by scientific theories that rationalize our observations - intangible reductions that derive from the math- a map of the Forms permits a kind of social perfection where the best possible, most aesthetic society is one where the most probable structure that leads to the most happiness and least suffering is the correct one. It is a perfect philosophy for the social sciences, which must rely more on intangible evidence and physical science. Empiricism alone cannot propel a better world, only a holistic approach can.
