so I think this goes to the title of your piece—the question of *experience*. It's a hard word but to a very significant extend both the pythagoreans and platonists seem to take interactions with the forms to be a kind of non-sensory experience—not just a mental exercise but an encounter with something that is not reducible to one's own categories.
