For Plato, this meant that there had to be two different realities: the " essential " and the " perceived ".

For Plato, Eros takes an almost transcendent manifestation when the subject seeks to go beyond itself and form a communion with the objectival other: " the true order of going ... to the things of love, is to use the beauties of earth as steps ... to all fair forms, and from fair forms to fair actions, and from fair actions to fair notions, until from fair notions he arrives at the notion of absolute beauty ".

For example, in the brewing industry, the Plato table, which lists sucrose concentration by weight against true SG, were originally ( 20 ° C / 4 ° C ) i. e. based on measurements of the density of sucrose solutions made at laboratory temperature ( 20 ° C ) but referenced to the density of water at 4 ° C which is very close to the temperature at which water has its maximum density of equal to 0. 999972 g · cm < sup >− 3 </ sup > or SI units ( or 62. 43 lb < sub > m </ sub >· ft < sup >− 3 </ sup > in United States customary units ).
