Plato’s Divided Line


Plato’s Divided Line is a chart that both summarizes and illustrates Plato’s analogy of the divided line.

  • It summarizes the activities of thought and their objects, progressing from opinion (divided into conjecture, then belief) to knowledge (divided into reasoning, then perception) and, ultimately, to a kind of mystic communion with the form of the good as its object.
  • It illustrates with divisions of the chart that correspond to proportions of the line.
