The foundational crisis of mathematics in the early 20th century should have laid the notion of Platonism to rest, right? I guess a counter-argument to that could be that the Forms would be incognizable.

In either case it's hard for me to see what Platonism can tell us about the world or ourselves given all we know about math and it's many gaps.
