Alreadythereness

Alreadythereness: noun. A key concept in Platonic philosophy denoting the state of something which is, very philosophically put, "already there." An example of alreadythereness as a quality is Socrates' argument that all knowledge is present in the soul waiting for its proprietor to re-discover it. Thus, all "new" information is not really "new," but in a state of alreadythereness, which seems to make life sort of boring.
