> Kantianism is not the predominant view among working metaphysicians today

Which gladly nobody claimed to be the case. "At least since Kant" gives us a time frame not a causal link — and even if it did pretend there was a causal link, any philosopher wouldn't have to be a Kantian in order to agree to a thing Kant said about Plato's concept. Or phrased differently: A Non-Kantian can agree with Kant on a thing Kant said about Plato without suddenly becoming a Kantian.

What the poster said here is to my knowledge correct (I studied philosophy).
