Thank you! Carl Jung uses archetypes and patterns in dreams much after this concept of Plato. I always thought Plato's forms were like this in my readings. Also, Nietzsche's concept of eternal return, I feel, is after the platonic idea of archetypes repeating themselves.
I like to think of it as a particular thing's participation in a Form as a whole, the forms are pure unity. The difference is the particular thing's quality of participation. I can draw many triangles of varying quality and size, while they all participate/partake in the wholeness of triangularity, the level at which they attempt to communicate the Form varies.

But the thing is that is not how he expressed forms therefore to say the first part of Parmenides is an objection or critique of his own theory of forms doesn't seem to make sense . Forms are metaphysical conditions that are generative . And they could never be separated and stand alone he was always showing that they possessed a Unity between them. Because they flowed from The One or The Good and are distinct not separate.
The Forms are not sensible things, they belong to the intelligible world of eternal Being. However, I agree with Parmenides, that hair, mud, and dirt must too have a form, and why do they need to be undignified? A potter seeks the "good mud" for making beautiful pottery, the gardener seeks out the "prime dirt", highly conducive to makings things grow, and all types of animals, including humans, can have a gorgeous mane of hair.

This is very helpful. The use of repetition is a great technique. Thank you!
You are most welcome.

Excellent conclusion, thank you Brent.

Enjoyed the video as a nice review. Waiting for the whiteboard scribbling was a bit tedious though...oh well, worth it.
