'Plato's Cosmology' (Oil on Canvas 600 x 500mm) The basis of the Cosmology is that existence is made up of four elements. These are Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Theses differing elements interact with each other in quite specific ways. For example fire needs air and earth to work, whereas water extinguishes fire and so on. The correlation between Plato's ideas and contemporary psychology is unmistakable. POA

"The important aspect of Kant’s division of the world into opposites is that he regards ‘Noumena’ having an objective reality. Indeed this is an important viewpoint in that the products of the unconscious do have an objective reality. For example, dreams come to us while asleep without conscious input or control. They happen of their own accord and in their own way. Similarly, we project inner characters and ideas onto the ‘phenomenal’ world, which connects us to that world."
