In this episode, Giuseppe and Anthony continue their conversation on Plato's theory of forms: Are the forms just a metaphor for ideas and the activity of thinking? Or should the realm of forms be interpreted as a literal "place?" What is the allegory of the cave, and what are its metaphysical and epistemological implications? How exactly do numbers fit into all of this? What is the ontological status of mathematics? Is it more primary than, on par with, or secondary to pure logic?
