4.1 Forms of Government Montesquieu holds that there are three types of governments: republican governments‚ which can take either democratic or aristocratic forms; monarchies; and despotisms.

Mozart’s K 333 Sonata in B-flat Major was composed in November 1783. It was written in Vienna while Mozart was there for a period. He wrote this in his "early phase" while he was in Vienna. This sonata was not really written into a group of sonatas‚ but could be grouped with the other nine sonatas that were written in this early phase in Vienna. All of these ten sonatas were written and published between 1783 and 1785 in Vienna. However‚ these sonatas were not written as a group (Kirby 101). My

Plato was believed to have been a dualist‚ he believed in two worlds: The World of Appearances and The World of Forms. In his opinion‚ the world we currently live in is what he would have called the World of Appearances. Everything we sense‚ feel‚ touch‚ smell‚ etc is ’real’. Yet Plato thought that these sense deceived us. He said as everything in the world is in a state of flux/change‚ it is an unreliable source of what is considered ’real’.

The "World of forms" can only be properly understood by philosophers and those who seek knowledge‚ not by the ignorant or those who do not wish to learn the truth. The theory of forms makes a distinction between those objects that
