material? and nature only produces crude facsimiles of this removed perfection, then did he also believe that there are perfect ideals of imperfect geometric shapes? I mean, imagine you draw square but you are poor artist so the lines dont even join up: So is there a perfect version of your retarded square outside the material also? please explain?.. I want to know if this same logic can be used for perfect ideals of literature. (eg, is Hamlet the perfect tragedy?)
