Plato is the unity of philosophers, there's literally no philosophy not already encapsulated by Platonism to some degree.
This is how both Stoicism (Polemon) and Skepticism came about out of Platonism, and Peripateticism is also found in Plato. They each a different interpretation of Plato, and all capture a part of the truth.
Even Epicurus has Platonic basis if you read Philebus, the Epicureans seek the midpoint between Pain and Pleasure.
