Plato's "saving the appearances" refers to his idea that we should be able to account for the way things appear in our everyday experience while also striving for a deeper understanding of underlying truths. It suggests a balance between empirical observations and abstract reasoning to reconcile the contradictions between appearances and reality. Plato believed that mathematical reasoning and dialectical methods could help save appearances by revealing the underlying universal forms that govern the changing world of appearances.
