    I am not going to reply anymore to anyone who is simply repeating what has already been said.Lionino

    Keeping my promise. In any case, at the very least, the introductory SEP articles on platonism and nominalism should read. Clearly no one here has done that.

    Because Plato's philosophy has had influence in our culture, that doesn't mean that our culture has platonist elements (what does that even mean?), that is wrong. For the tenth time, platonism is not the same as Plato's philosophy.

    What are you saying, that it's just by random chance that the words "platonism" and "Platonism" are extremely similar? Are you saying that it's wrong to assume some sort of relationship between the meanings of these two words, even though they don't both mean the exact same thing?
