The artisan makes the article, but he does not fully understand its eidos, that is, its end purpose. Only the user does. If the eide of manufactured articles are somehow 'natural,' separate, and above the workmen, the artisans become nothing but intermediaries.

Vernant argues that eide function as transcendent end-purposes above the level of craft, accessible only to the user, rendering artisans mere instruments in the realization of form.

these two potentially hostile virtues are, in their turn, to be placed in two opposite classes (eide) of qualities, and those who possess such qualities also naturally constitute two opposing groups

Hobbs shows Plato using eide as a formal classificatory device in the Politicus, dividing virtues such as andreia and sophrosune into opposed classes of qualities.

εἶδος itself corresponds exactly to BSl. forms like Lith. veidas 'face' and OCS vidŭ 'appearance', as well as to OHG wīsa 'way, manner'

Beekes traces eidos etymologically to IE *ueid- 'to see,' establishing its root meaning as 'appearance' or 'visible form,' cognate with Slavic and Germanic words for face and manner.

The index clusters archetype at the same page references as eidos/eide, implicitly affirming the depth-psychological equivalence Edinger draws between Platonic forms and Jungian archetypes.
