Well...yes. Meaning, Beauty, and Goodness are all squarely in the domain of neuroscience/psychology. Truth is in the domain of the sciences, and its sister Tautology is in Mathematics. A philosopher who wishes to say meaningful things about any of the above needs to be well versed in all these things.
Plato—by no fault of his own of course - wasn’t well versed in any of them, which is why his thinking feels so clumsy and child-like to modern thinkers.
And the fact that we remember Plato today, rather than many other ancient philosophers who were a lot...less wrong...is an accident of history.
I wonder what happened to Justification? I justified my claim that Good is not in the domain of science by pointing out that it is not empriically detectable, thar we don’t have good-ometers. You just gainsaid that, without offering a counterargument.
