What do you mean by "Plato thought words were conceptual forms"? What do you mean by conceptual forms?

He thought they existed "elsewhere"- the whole allegory of the cave & his distrust of minesis is a belief in the "realm of forms" (concepts) - literal nonentities.

Are you sure the allegory of the cave is an allegory of his ontological propositions and not an allegory of his epistemological ones? And do you still insist that Plato thought that words were forms?

Is this what you're gonna do? You had ten minutes to come up with a reply. Those are your affirmations, not mine: do you really hold them, yes or no? I'll not argue if you're not convinced of your own positions.

Plato's forms are said to exist in a "more real" realm beyond perception.

It's in the text m8. I'm not about to pull quotes. If you disgree, that's on you. You pulled *me* here to "tell me something" so have at it.

The fact is that I'm literally stating it's not, so unless you start to pull quotes, you're just refusing to defend your point.
