I want to know the answer to the following question:
What sort of dualist is Plato regarded as?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Plato was therefore a metaphysical and epistemological dualist, an outlook that modern idealism has striven to avoid: Plato's thought cannot therefore be counted as idealist in the modern sense, although quantum physics' assertion that man's consciousness is an immutable and primary requisite for not merely perceiving but shaping matter, and thus his reality, would give more credence to Plato's dualist position.[citation needed]". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
