What is the theory of forms?
The theory of forms is the idea that everything in the natural world comes from a manifestation of a pure form, and these pure forms are abstracts. What we experience in the real world are manifestations of these pure forms, which are considered inferior manifestations.
How are inferior manifestations caused according to the theory of forms?
Inferior manifestations are caused by the interaction between pure forms and matter. Matter is constantly changing, and our experiences through our senses result in these less perfect manifestations.

An example of an inferior manifestation is the idea of 'carness,' where the thousands of cars we see are considered inferior copies of an abstract form of 'carness.'
