Cue to Whitehead's "a series of footnotes to Plato" quip. Though I think he was a bit off the mark. People aren't merely talking about Plato, but unwittingly echoing him. It's kind of like that another quote, this time from Keynes, about practical men being "slaves" to the opinions of long dead economists.
