Plato

From A Fragment on Government by Jeremy Bentham

. . . almost all names employed in speaking of the phenomena of the mind are names of fictitious entities. In speaking of any pneumatic (or say immaterial or spiritual) object, no name has ever been employed that had not first been employed as the name of some material (or say corporeal) one. Lamentable have been the confusion and darkness produced by taking the names of fictitious for the names of real entities.

. . . the main if not the only source of the clouds in which, notwithstanding all their rivalry, Plato and Aristotle concurred in wrapping up the whole field of pneumatology. In the phantoms generated in their own brains, it seemed to them and their followers that they beheld so many realities. Of these fictitious entities, many will be found of which, they being, each of them, a genus generalissimum, the names are consequently incapable of receiving what is commonly understood by a definition, viz. a definition Per genus et differentiam. But, from their not being susceptible of this species of exposition, they do not the less stand in need of that species of exposition of which they are susceptible."

BENTHAM'S THEORY OF FICTIONS by Charles Kay Ogden.

From The Soul of the Universe, 1940 by Gustaf Strömberg

"This theory has an important relationship to Plato's idea of a recollection by [the] soul of conditions in the world from which it originally came."

Philadelphia : David McKay 1948, p. 218.
