"Platonic" refers to Plato's idealistic belief that the "perceptible world is an illusory shadow of some higher realm of transcendent Ideas or Forms." "Perceptible" means what is perceived, what is seen, and "transcendent" is a surpassing of usual limits; exceeding beyond usual human limits.So Plato believed that the world we see was just an illusion, a shadow, of some idea or form beyond what we see.So Gatsby's persona was created from his platonic view of himself: his view that his love for Daisy was more than normal, that it was transcendent, that it surpassed and exceeded usual human limits. He created himself, his image, his reputation, his plan to win Daisy back, etc., out of a belief that his love was special, and that the love between himself and Daisy was special.
