Being and Becoming

Posted by kiakam on Wednesday, March 26, 05:50 PM

The great ancient Greek philosopher, Plato, believed that human reality is divided into two worlds: Being and Becoming.

He viewed the primary world of Being or “substance” as a realm of essence and absolutes and the second world, Becoming or “subject” as a realm of dependency and complexity. In other words, he believed that Being is associated with the personal mind and Becoming is associated with matter (the world outside of our minds).

So, do you believe that there is a dualism between Being and Becoming? Is our own mind or individuality the opposite of the rest of the world?
