This paper explores the relationship between the Platonic concept of Ideas as perfect forms and the inherent uniqueness of individual realities. While Plato viewed differences among entities of the same class as mere inaccuracies or failures to replicate a prototype, modern evolutionary perspectives often interpret these variations as random mutations or contingent errors in genetic transcription. The author questions whether such "inaccuracies" should be reduced to pure contingency or if they represent a fundamental factor in the emergence of the "new." Drawing on Jan Patočka’s notion of freedom as a distance from real things, the text suggests extending the concept of autonomy to lower levels of life and all true beings-events. The study challenges purely causal or accidental interpretations of evolution, seeking an alternative understanding of how novelty arises as a singular occurrence. It ultimately asks how Ideas relate to the birth of something new that cannot be fully explained by pre-existing causes, thus reevaluating the ontological status of individuality and the "contingent" in relation to universal forms.
