The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Parmenides by Plato: True.
Being, then, cannot be ascribed to the one, since it is not; but the one
that is not may or rather must participate in many things, if it and
nothing else is not; if, however, neither the one nor the one that is not
is supposed not to be, and we are speaking of something of a different
nature, we can predicate nothing of it. But supposing that the one that is
not and nothing else is not, then it must participate in the predicate
'that,' and in many others.
Certainly.
And it will have unlikeness in relation to the others, for the others being
different from the one will be of a different kind.
