Abstract
Plato thought ordinary people have a cognitive, but ignorant, relationship with the Forms. Plato makes this relationship evident for the Slave at Meno 82b-86c, the Lover of Sights and Sounds at Republic 476-480, the ordinary person (hoi polloi) in the finger exercise conducted with Glaucon at Republic 523d3-5 and also in the argument about the equality of sticks and stones at Phaedo 74a-75b.
