The focus of the early dialogues is the psyche and its states; the middle dialogues employ at least two distinct theories of separate Forms: and the Sophist and Philebus use kinds not Forms to solve their respective problems. ~ While the apex of Plato's philosophy is his metaphysics, Plato does not present his metaphysical beliefs in anything like a systematic treatise. Plato writes about metaphysics usually in the dialectical context of other problems, for example, the education of the potential philosopher kings in the Republic, the nature of eros in the Symposium, and the good life for man of the Philebus. Plato often leaves gaps and unclarities in his exposition, especially where to remove them would be neither dramatically appropriate, nor directly relevant to his task. Moreover, Plato does not have a unified and settled metaphysical system, even within a single dialogue period. Rather Plato develops and changes his metaphysics both in response to insights from his predecessors~the Eleatics, the Heracliteans, and others~and to the evolving and changing philosophical problems he faces. Finally, Plato does not metaspeculate to any great extent about his metaphysics; thus it is difficult to ascertain Plato's consciousness of his intellectual development. There are, then, reasons to be more hesitant and tentative than I am in attributing positions to Plato. Plato is not a rigid thinker who simply elaborates on a single theme~the separate Forms~from beginning to end.".
