[MD] Plato's Good

[Ant McWatt]

Joe,

Your question is a good example about why using (static) terminology to refer to or to describe Quality can be misleading or, at best, leads to koans!

Anyway, if it's any help, by "essential nature", I meant "elementary" or "fundamental nature of" i.e. I was using this phrase as an adjective rather than a noun.

Best wishes,

Ant
