Plato was a substance dualist - believing that the soul and the body were two separate and distinct substances
Although the body is mortal, the soul is immortal and on the death of the physical body, the soul will be released into a spiritual world of Forms before being reborn in another body.
In the world of Forms, the soul absorbs knowledge, which is regained after rebirth.
Thus, we a born with innate knowledge within us, and we simply have to learn how to access it through contemplation and reflection
