“In Plato’s philosophy, true reality resides in the Eternal Forms or Ideas that make it possible to understand ordinary physical objects. Thus, ac- cording to Plato the way to gain knowledge is to directly encounter these “platonic” Forms”. (Casti, John L. 2003. Complexity and Aesthetics: Is Good Art “Complex” Art?: 21. In Casti and Karlqvist Eds. 2003. Art and Complexity. Amsterdam: Elsevier Science B.V.: 21-29)
