The rise to what? To the Idea, which now is regarded as definitely the Good, the great end to be attained.

The essence of Being is this Idea, according to Plato; man is, therefore, to realize in himself True Being, or the essence of Being; thus through Ethics he first gets to be in truth.

In this way we can see that all Philosophy, particularly the Philos- ophy of Plato, finds its culmination and final purpose in Ethics, which is mans way of salvation in the scheme of our philosopher.

Greek Philosophy hitherto has sought for the essence of Being rather through the Intellect and has found it to be some form of the Univer- sal.

But now man is to be transformed into this Universal in his life and conduct by Ethics, whereby Philosophy reaches its true end and be- comes practical.
