Very tough reading today. We finish the main discussion of the relationships between the tricky "higher-level" forms, and then near the end of the reading move on to an application (I think) of the discussion, which is that some things that are _do_ (contra Parmenides) share in not-being, so that false belief and speech are possible. There are a few comments, doubtless developed in the last part of the dialogue, applying this conclusion to the puzzle of what sophists and sophistry are.
I'd love to have some original things to put here, but the reading is really quite detailed, and this philosophy of mind paper isn't going to write itself...
Happy reading!
