? Socratesis not so sure; to which Parmenides rejoins that as he grows olderphilosophy will take a surer hold of him, and that he will recognisethe same law in small things and in great.
But now as to the nature of these Ideas. What, Parmenides asks, is therelation of these, as eternally existing in the mind of God, to thesame ideas as possessed by individual men? Does each individualactually _partake_ in the thought of God through {158} the ideas, orare his ideas only _resemblances_ of the ete...rnal? If he partakes, thenthe eternal ideas are not one but many, as many as the persons whopossess them. If his ideas only resemble, then there must be somebasis of reference by which the resemblance is established, a _tertiumquid_ or third existence resembling both, and so _ad infinitum_. Socrates is puzzled by this, and suggests that perhaps the Ideas areonly notions in our minds. But to this it is replied that there is anend in that case of any reality in our ideas. Unless in some way theyhave a true and causal relation with something beyond our minds, thereis an end of mind altogether, and with mind gone everything goes.
