k. vii. ch. xiv.; "Phaedo,"Secs. 63-67, 73. 2. _The idea of_ CAUSE (aitia)--the power or efficiency by which things that "become," or begin to be, are generated or produced.--"Timaeus," ch. ix.; "Sophist," Sec. 109; "Philebus," Secs. 45, 46. 3. _The idea of_ IDENTITY (auto to ison)--that which "does not change," "is always the same, simple and uniform, incomposite and indissoluble,"--that which constitutes personality or self-hood.--"Phaedo," Secs. 61-75; "Timaeus," ch. ix.; "Republic," bk. ii. ch. xix. and xx. 4. _The idea of_ UNITY (to en)--one _mind_ or intelligence pervading the universe, the comprehensive conscious _thought_ or _plan_ which binds all parts of the universe in one great whole (to pan)--the principle of _order_.--"Timaeus," ch. xi. and xv.; "Republic," bk. vi. ch. xiii.; "Philebus," Secs. 50-51. 5. _The idea of the_ INFINITE (to apeiron)--that which is unlimited and unconditioned, "has no parts, bounds, no beginning, nor middle, nor end."--"Parmenides," Secs. 22, 23. II. _The idea of_ ABSOLUTE BEAUTY (to kalon)--the formal cause of the universe, and by participation in which all created things have only so far a real beauty.--"Timaeus," ch. xi, "Greater Hippias," Secs. 17, 18; "Republic," bk. v. ch. 22. This idea is developed in the human intelligence in its relation to the organic world; as, 1. _The Idea of_ PROPORTION or SYMMETRY (symmetria)--the proper relation of parts to an organic whole resulting in a harmony (cosmos), and which relation admits of mathematical expression.--"Timaeus," ch. lxix.; "Philebus," Sec. 155 ("Timaeus," ch. xi. and xii., where the relation of numerical proportions to material elements is expounded). 2. _The idea of_ DETERMINATE FORM (paradeigma archetypos)--the eternal models or archetypes according to which all things are framed, and which admit of geometrical representation.--"Timaeus," ch. ix.; "Phaedo," Sec.112 ("Timaeus," ch. xxviii.-xxxi., where the relation of geometrical forms to material elements is exhibited). 3. _The idea of_ RHYTHM (rythmos)--measured movement in time and space, resulting in melody and grace.--"Republic," bk. iii. ch. xi. and xii.; "Philebus," Sec. 21. 4. _The idea of_ FITNESS or ADAPTATION (chresimon)--effectiveness to some purpose or end.--"Greater Hippias," Sec. 35. 5. _The idea of_ PERFECTION (teleiote
