Summary/Abstract: Modern philosophers of mathematics in their discussions tend to refer to mathematical platonism. Usually they believe that they talk about philosophical thought of Plato himself and understanding of mathematics that was introduced by the ancient philosopher. Unfortunately, contemporary mathematical platonism has very little in common with original platonism. In this paper I would like to clarify this issue and present Plato’s philosophy of mathematics.
