"Plato’s metaphysical ideas bear a close resemblance to the Christian theology. In Republic, Plato provides his explanation how people acquire knowledge and also explanation how different material things exist. The forms can interact, like form of the good and form of the chair to make a good chair on the material realm. One of his forms in particular is rather interesting- form of the good, which stands out from the rest of the forms and may be the highest form for Plato.
In my paper I will discuss the Plato’s ideas in regards to forms, and form of the good in particular as well as his ideas about divinity and gods in the immaterial world. Then I will talk about main Christian ideas about God and I will discuss St Augustine’s ideas about God in particular. Then, after introducing their concepts, I will compare and contrast the two Philosopher’s ideas about God and then show the similarities between the form of the good from Plato as well as Plato’s ideas regarding gods and Christian God according to Augustine."

More Info: I wrote this paper for my Ancient Philosophy class
