This video is part ten of my series "A History of Western Thought." This episode is an introduction to Plato's theory of the forms, and a description of his allegory of the cave.

Dr. Cooper, I *loved* this series, I am only disappointed that you stopped! I thought you were going to do 11, 12, 13, etc all the way to the birth of Christ! Do you have plans to do any more of these? They have been my walking companion, even on the Camino de Santiago in Spain! Please?!

[@DrJordanBCooper]

I really want to do more. They just haven't gotten that many views and are a bit of work to put together, which has caused these to take a back seat to some other things.

[@BrianLillie]

Dr. Jordan B Cooper well let me know if I can help in some way. I plan to highlight them in a post on LinkedIn so hopefully that will help with viewership

[@DrJordanBCooper]

Can you please do more podcasts and videos on patristic theology?

[@alainvaldivia2661]

Miguel Cisneros Same, especially since I’ve gained an interest into the Church Fathers

[@DrJordanBCooper]

Amazing

[@787Earl]

thank you

[@alainvaldivia2661]

By the way, what exactly did the Church Fathers teach in regards to assurance? Especially since Rome denies such a thing

[@Doubledig]

Dogs of different breeds I think you meant not different species.

[@casteretpollux]

Plato simply didnt have knowledge of evolution which results in species. He was simply wrong.

[@evan7391]

That doesn't refute him though. There are still structures shared by multiple organisms that makes them similar, which are the Ideas.
