The Great Chain of Being is a medieval vision of the universe, that derives from platonism. People believed everything had a specific place in the universe, that was organised into a hierarchical system. On the top there is God and divine spirits like angels, that are superior to all living things and inanimate objects because of their immortal condition. Below them there are human beings, and than animals, and plants and minerals.
