Abstract
This article vindicates the notion of Platonic forms within Mocombe’s theory of phenomenological structuralism (PS). Mocombe uses his consciousness field theory to ground Plato’s notions of forms as scientific fact. Mocombe posits that the human mind or consciousness is presented with brute facts and things of the multiverse, which it attempts to reify and universalize through concepts of language and mathematics. So, the facts and things of the world exists, via what Mocombe calls the absolute vacuum, where they exist as Platonic forms, irrespective of the human mind, which simply highlights and categorizes them in order to experience being-in-the-world with others and things they encounter.
