- 16Meno's paradoxIf you know what you're looking for, inquiry is unnecessary. If you don't know what you're looking for, inquiry is impossible. So inquiry is either unnecessary or impossible.

- 18Aporetic dialogueDoesn't have a conclusion.
- 19Thesis of the unity of virtueCourage is the whole of virtue, according to Socrates, not just a part of virtue.
- 20Forms (Plato)Universals. Mind-independent, accessible only via the intellect, intelligible, eternal, unqualifiedly something, proper causes.
- 21Recollection argumentWhat we think of as learning is actually recollecting what the forms knew prior to being placed as a soul in the body. So soul can exist without body and thus be immortal.
- 22Affinity argumentIf the soul has knowledge of the forms, it must be like the forms, and therefore eternal/immortal like the forms.
- 23Particulars (Plato)Accessible through sense-perception, not the intellect, so opposite to forms. Imperfect copies of the forms that they participate in.
- 24Compresence of oppositesParticulars suffer from this because they can be qualified by opposites (forms can't because they are unqualifiedly something so we can have knowledge of them), they are therefore unstable and we can't have knowledge of them.
- 25ParticipationA particular (flower) is beautiful because it participates in the Form of Beauty.
- 26Proper causeFor something x to be a cause of f-ness in things. eg for the Form of Beauty to be the cause of beauty in particulars.

- 28Matter (Aristotle)Material that has the potential to be a particular thing.
- 29Material causeThat from which a thing is made and continues to be made. Eg bronze.
- 30Formal causeWhatever gives something its definition. e.g. for 2:1 it's numbers (1, 2, 3...).
