" A point that is illustrated to some degree here is that, regardless of what Platonists want to believe about ideals, realms of forms, and the underlying nature of reality, a very strong case can be made that human beings are the ones fashioning logic and logical axiomatic systems as mental tools through which we aim to better understand our world. On some level, Platonists believe just the opposite—that abstractions determine a fundamental reality and that we are merely discovering those “real” abstractions as we go along. "
