Abstract
The aims of this dissertation are to uncover and analyse potential links between ethics and metaphysics - specifically, the theory of Forms - in the dialogues of Plato. Drawing on material from a wide range of Plato 's works, I investigate possible ways in which his theory of Forms might, at a very general level, converge with his moral theory.
