Question

Happy holidays, Rabbi Michi,
Before the holiday I finished your YouTube series on faith / belief.
It’s a wonderful, eye-opening series. Huge thanks to you for everything!
I’ve now started the series on Platonism. I listened to the first lecture, and I wanted to ask—unless you address this later in the series:
You speak, according to Plato’s approach, about the clear taxonomy that everyone sees when looking at the world, so that, for example, it is obvious to everyone that there is an essential difference between horses and donkeys, and there is no essential difference between donkeys and horses of the same height versus donkeys and horses of different heights. Which proves the Idea, and so on.
These points immediately made me think of the claims of (parts of) the progressive movement, that the division between men and women is imaginary, and that one could just as well divide the world into people with light hair and people with dark hair, and so on.
So in practice, is there a dispute here between Plato’s approach (the “conservatives”) and Aristotle’s approach (the progressives)?
