The Platonic Anamnesis
One of the most important concepts of what is the Platonic philosophy (of Aristocles 427 - 347 BC) is known as a anamnesis or reminiscence, which derives from the greek "anàmnésis" and involves the ability of can remember the hyperuranic ideas, learning the common notions from the material world that are merely copies of universal essence.. ideas before the body; for example, the explanation of a complex mathematical theorem is already present in our minds and will enough the guide of the philosopher to do remember it in the memory. The doctrine of the anamnesis for which to learn must be a simple to remember is present in several Platonic dialogues and in particular in the "Meno", but we must distinguish the memory of the Ideas and of the pure intelligible than that for the sensitive things, that are linked together to by analogy and are recalled to the memory in a normal life and relationship.
