3. Plato's Theory of Forms

[@swakeirobert7129]

This anology is amazing it opens our minds to think beyond what we are seeing

[@JestEducation]

Yes, very interesting stuff.

[@Jimothy-723]

ya know what els opens our minds? psychadelics... these people are insane.

[@ngqabuthomafu8559]

Yes but thinking beyond what your seeing can be dangerous if you don't know what to think about “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”-Genesis 1:1 "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." (John 17:3) 8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9) To be grounded in reality means to be aware of our surroundings and to know the difference between what is real and what is not real. It means living in the present moment. When you are unable to tell the difference between a hallucination or just a passing thought, it’s difficult to perform day-to-day activities with a clear mind. Romans 1:20 Verse Concepts For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

@@JestEducation Quran says: “Allah:there is not God except he”:The Neccessary life/consciousness,sustainer of life/consciousness.” Wire like neuronal structures that conduct electricity via ions/neurotransmitters in the CNS/PNS possess no attribute of thinking/life and yet that has “randomly” led to life. Consciousness/thinking is an innate idea(“Fitra”)that is distinct from carbon skeleton and yet the materialist scientist believes that chemistry turned into biology via “god of randomness”/”Emergent property”/”law of nature”. Consciousness can only stem from Necessary Consciousness (Allah-one/indivisible/loving/self-sufficient perfection)

[@Kishiru324]

It also shows our mental capacity for perfection. But 3d is always decaying. We are born and already dying. But inside us is the desire to live. Babies are reacting in order to survive.

1:33 you triggered something in my brain here, and i had an epiphany . Thank you

[@frthomasplant]

Comprehensive and accurate. Thank you.

[@JestEducation]

Thank you.

[@ministry_of_love]

Thank you very much for this video. I've a degree in computer science and the theory of forms explains very well _object oriented_ programming. In this type of programming language, you design _classes_ which are a _form_ and *instantiate* the class to create enumerable _instances_ (or objects) of that class. As a consequence, your video not only reinforced my fundamental understanding of computer science, it's also extended my knowledge of Plato

[@billmutisya]

software engineer here. Had the same thought. Thanks for putting my thoughts into words ( articulating it).

[@ministry_of_love]

@@billmutisya Great minds think alike!

[@exe.m1dn1ght]

@@ministry_of_love well hello there fellow programmers , at 1:33 i had a great epiphany and now i understand better classes and objects.. had a really hard time with those im not gonna lie lol

[@JasonPSchafer]

I just had the same thought! Hahahaha!

[@utkarsh678]

Are you not making philosophy videos anymore? Would be of great help if you could help us with Descartes, Liebnitz, Spinoza, Locke, Berkley, Hume, Kant & Hegel. Your simplistic representation goes a long way in clarity of understanding.

[@JestEducation]

Thank you for your question. I would love to make more videos! I just need some time and funds.

[@missinguforever1]

Hello, These videos are great! Would it be alright if you posted ethical topics as well as philosophical topics from the RS spec? Thanks

[@JestEducation]

Thank you. I’m glad you are enjoying them. I would love to do some ethics posts. Just need a bit of time and money!

[@JestEducation]

Watch this space though...

[@MrTruedragonknight]

Great video

[@JestEducation]

Thank you.

Thank you on behalf of 5th sem Pol. Science department

[@pnpsilver]

Not a hierarchy but a classification system, however it shows how one quality becomes explained in generics then gets detailed over time. Like how we can have Education - Science - engineering - civil engineering , etc. ?

[@kuromie9708]

thank you so so much - this is amazing, i struggle to understand my teacher - do you have any plans to cover the rest of the RS philosophy spec in the future?

[@suhani551]

Thank you for this wonderful explanation!

[@JestEducation]

You are welcome, Suhani.

[@Mami-lj6ny]

What is it that constitutes the identity of a given physical object?

[@tacoquesdilla4741]

Amazing video! I was wondering you can give me a brief summary if what platonic idealism is.

[@JestEducation]

Platonic idealism is the theory that the nature of reality is essentially non-physical.

[@rosevilacojedo6213]

Thank you Jest Education this is much more understanding and it help me to write my essay.

[@terenalexander1]

this was very helpful i really love you for this!

[@m24only48]

Could you please recommend me some books which speak of how thinking on form has evolved to this date?

[@JestEducation]

What a great idea to explore. I'm not able to give you a list, but I bet I know who could - I would try to get in contact with Professor James Doyle. He is an expert in the history of philosophy and Plato in particular. I studied under him and he is great!

[@Matteopolska]

beautifully explained

[@PlasmaSnake369]

Good video, thanks

[@JestEducation]

Thank you Liam. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Matteopolska]

it sounds similar to the idea of classes in programming whereas Forms are classes blueprints and particulars are class instances

[@SuccessMindset2180]

Forms are real objects and particulars are their phantoms according to Plato

a more subjective area of metaphysics [ and no language punning please ] thnx for video

Thank you for the feedback. We will see what we can do.

this closely matches with Islamic mysticism

[@JestEducation]

That’s sounds really interesting. I would love to know more.

[@frthomasplant]

Yes - Ibn Arabi, Suhrawardi and Mulla Sandra, among many others, are directly influenced by the Platonic tradition via Plotinus and Proclus.

[@joehouston2833]

Plato came centuriesssssssss before islam 🤣

[@kinzanasir7438]

@@frthomasplant Islamic Mysticism existed way before plato. With different names obviously.

[@kinzanasir7438]

@@joehouston2833 Islam is a way of life , every prophet taught a way of life to his people. And Mysticism is a result of those teachings, even though Prophets didn't directly taught mysticism. Mysticism is a secret to achieve happiness by becoming ever closer to Allah (God). Mysticism existed from the beginning of the world but under different labels. Any mysticism that is not according to the teachings of the Prophet of that time has become corrupt and it won't benefit the masses. Because most of the Prophets came in Palastinians, thus mysticism spread from Middle East and Plato in his 11 years journey, visited Egypt and it was from egypt that his ideas was affected and shaped.

[@pdcdesign9632]

Plato lost me at TRUTH DOESN'T EXIST IN NATURE. Religious people have been enabled by this king of nonsense for 2400 years. 🙄😬

[@paithancampbell7289]

Same comment as the other video. Even with the same typo.

[@arditloki5693]

So maybe the 'human form' is Adam and Eve 😀 God is the greatest

Interesting link to Christianity.
