Platonic epistemology

[Sky Motion]

The idea that the soul has perfect knowledge of EVERYTHING and that when we learn something in life that we are actually just recalling it.

Thoughts?

Do you believe the soul has perfect knowledge of everything..is this really inside us?

I don't think what you're asking has any meaning.

What is perfect knowledge?

Knowledge implies a container of the known, which even if the known is everything the container is not known.

I.e., either you have knowledge AND ignorance, or nothing because there is nothing to define knowledge against.

Before eating from the tree of knowledge there was no ignorance, and no knowledge... from this knowledge was created..

We're only talking about a very specific sort of knowledge at that. Otherwise knowledge is abundant in all manifestation.

definetly , however we are so out of tune with our soul and cosmic consciousness that perhaps whatever knowledge comes to us from inside ourselves might still be very contaminated by our ego's

and what the soul knows cannot even be called knowledge for it is beyond such terms and meanings , knowledge in our everday world is ABC and the D , it is language , it is science , it is tech ,and it is spirituality , however i doubt the soul has any knowledge having to do with our everday world and life

what the soul knows has probably nothing to do with material nature , the soul knows trancendence , the soul knows God , the soul knows itself and the soul knows all

yet what the soul knows has nothing to do with what we call knowledge , what we call knowledge is altogether something else
