Oh, I'm glad this popped up in my feed. I have a little undergrad experience with the theory of forms- well, I think the instruction itself was merely participating in the form of the theory of forms, and so I was more like a third hand participant, but if you can imagine the form of a lazy undergrad with a philosophy minor I came pretty close with the hoodie/flip flops/gym shorts, 60% absenteeism, etc. But in 2022 I listened to all of the late Dr Michael Sugrue's lectures, which were riveting, especially the ones on Plato. But I dont recall too much on the 'forms' angle, so I'm excited to hear this take. Also I'm just grateful there are still some people like yourself putting out quality content (with citations, no less!). Thank you in advance for the hard work that doubtless went into this and I look forward to listening and learning at a time when it seems those things- and the entire western political and philosophical tradition- is in jeopardy.
Oh all sorts! A basic political theory class (as is the case here) is pretty much compulsory for anyone who's studying Politics and International Relations at a University. The kind of content we're going to be exploring here are generally divided into: Theory, Domestic Politics, International Relations and Political History, so this represents the first of the theory lessons.
If you have any questions, let us know in the comments below!

What are some careers you would recommend after Political Theory?
