in Plato’s philosophy, especially in The Republic, the Form of the Good is indeed the pinnacle of his Theory of Forms. It is not merely one good thing among others, but rather the ultimate source of all other Forms’ being and intelligibility. Plato likens it to the sun in the famous Analogy of the Sun (Book VI): just as the sun illuminates physical objects so that they can be seen and known, the Form of the Good “illuminates” all other Forms, making them intelligible to the soul.
