RATIONALE
Plato was interested in abstract concepts (e.g., being and substance). These concepts are the subjects of the field
of philosophy known as metaphysics. Plato wanted to know how these concepts exist in reality (i.e., their
essences). Therefore, Plato's Forms were his metaphysical notion of the essences that ground the knowledge of
reality.

Everything that exists is either an atom or a collection of atoms.
All reality is composed of atoms in a void.
RATIONALE
The atomists believed that everything that exists is either an atom, or a collection of atoms. They also believed
that all matter and phenomena are the result of different configurations of atoms of different shapes and sizes.
However, a philosophical atom is not the same as a chemical atom. To the atomists, a philosophical atom was an
indivisible entity. Chemical atoms, as science has demonstrated, can be divided into smaller parts.
