Plato’s theory of the forms

Explain Plato’s theory of the forms, in your own words, and compare this understanding with Aristotle’s view of the forms, also using your own words. How are these views similar? How do they differ?

Then, analyze the views - which view do you think gives the best, or most complete account? Which makes the most sense to you? Why? What issues arise with each thinker’s argument? Can we resolve these issues? Cite available evidence and good reasons to support your claims.
