柏拉圖中期的相論-(本)相與影像

(本)相與影像

4.Aitia, Telos, Original and Image

4.1
Eidos is the aitia of the many.
The many partakes in eidos.
相為多之根基，多者分有相。

(筆者註: [相]為[多]的根基, 故[多]分有[相]。
例如:[美]透過具體,反映[美]。林志玲小姐,張寶華小姐都是分別地反映出[美]的。)

4.2
Eidos is the telos of the many.
The many strives for eidos.
相為多之極致，多者追求相。

(筆者註: [相]為[多]的極致(分支), 故[多]追逐[相]本源。。)

4.3
Eidos is the original and the many is the image.
Eidos is thought of by mind, whereas the many is sensed by the senses.
相為原本，多為影像。

(筆者註: [相]為[多]的本源, [多]為[相]的影像。)
