Such a goldmine of a channel. Simple, cozy setting that makes it feel like not-life-and-death; and the lectures are of perfect length -- neither 2 minute lingofests from which one learns nothing, nor lengthy marathons that are impossible to consume at one go. Sincere thanks!
Instances take 1 value from each property . Forms are abstract constructs of properties. Color of human eyes is a subset of all colors. Instances of human eyes take a value say green from the property of" human eye color ". Say green is elementary like electrons are indivisible. Pain has a relationship to intensity and duration but itself at the conscious level is not made out of other parts. At the neuron level it is a pattern of neuronal activation. Pain does not exist at the neuronal level. No neuron feels pain. Pain is emergent. Emergent properties don't exist on lower levels, they are the organisation of parts. No part of a plain can fly on its own but the whole can. The property of flight emerges from structure of parts. Emergent properties stop infinite regress.
So If I have two cats who somehow resemble the form of the perfect cat, why a second form is required? Is it because according to Plato's argument the form of a cat is a cat, which leads to the regression? Then why didn't he drop this requirement out of the argument if it causes problems? Maybe because then it would have to be a form of the cat without being a cat right? Alternatively, why not argue that the form of the cat is not the actual cat but rather something like catness or essence of the cat? With people, it could be something like a soul/human nature maybe? It seems to me that the theory works well with non-material things like justice, freedom etc but fails with physical things like cats, people, trees etc. I'm sorry I am a self-taught beginner in philosophy so it's difficult for me to grasp this (plus English is not my native language).

You explain exceptionally well. I appreciate the efforts you took to explain minutest thing about it.
the most accurate explanation of the third man argument i've seen on youtube
Thanks professor Richard
Great video, though you didn't address Aristotle's approach to the TMA

DJ Plato's table is immmmm the Fourth pillar of the Quadrivium is redeemed.
very helpful videos!! 10/10
So clear! Wise man.

Well explained
