I wish I could hug you right now.
You made me understand this in a short 3 minute video when my professor couldn't help me understand it in 2 hour long lectures. Thank you so much

Thankyou Ashlay and everyone for nice comments. As the video is getting a few views, I got a philosophy professor to check it . Here are his comments:
- `i think Plato uses either '`Form' (eidos) or 'Idea' (idea) to refer to the forms.
- The relationship between the creator and the forms is very unclear in Plato, but the main view today seems to be that the forms pre-exist the creator and he uses them as templates in creating the world.

Your video seems to identify the creator with the forms, which looks more like neo-Platonism (e.g. Philo, Plotinus, Porphyry.

Love it!
Are you going to do a whole series about philosophers?
(I bought some 'Great Philosopher' finger puppers yesterday ... maybe I should make a video response with them?)
