Socrates states that opinions are in reference to objects that are in a state of becoming (flux), while knowledge is directed at objects in a state of being (static). For example, to have opinions about Beauty is to understand Beauty by your own subjective experience of beautiful sights, sounds, tastes,and feelings; but to know Beauty is to know Beauty itself apart from the way we subjectively experience it in the phenomenal world. Plato argues that Beauty, Justice, Wisdom,and the like are not subjective (situational or relative) realities but rather objective (universal) realities
State whether or not they agree with Plato on the objective nature of Truth and indicate why. It might be helpful to focus on a particular Truth, i.e. Beauty or Justice. Students should state whether they believe it is subjective or objective and then indicate why.
