Scenarios about 'platonism'
Platonism refers to the philosophical system developed by Plato, which posits that abstract concepts and ideals exist as perfect forms in a realm beyond the physical world. This influential school of thought emphasizes that true knowledge concerns these eternal, unchanging forms rather than their imperfect physical manifestations. In alternate history scenarios, Platonism often serves as a philosophical foundation for societies with different intellectual developments or as an alternative basis for scientific and religious worldviews.
