 | | This conviction is apparent especially in the Platonic account of the origin of the universe, contained in the "Timaeus", although the details regarding the activity of the demiurgos and the created gods should not, perhaps, be taken seriously. | | | Their successors, however, in the twelfth century came to a knowledge of the psychology, metaphysics, and ethics of Aristotle, and adopted the Aristotelean view so completely that before the end of the thirteenth century the Stagyrite occupied in the Christian schools the position occupied in the fifth century by the founder of the Academy. | | | With the advent of neo-Platonism (q.v.) founded by Ammonius and developed by Plotinus, Platonism definitely entered the cause of Paganism against Christianity. |

| | The alternatives to platonism will be discussed in section 2, but it is worth noting here that the primary argument that platonists give for their view is that, according to them, there are good arguments against all other views. | | | So according to platonism, the relation to the north of is a two-place universal, as opposed to a property, which is a one-place universal. | | | Section 4 will develop and critique a second argument for platonism, namely, the Singular Term argument; this argument emerged much later than the One Over Many argument, but as we will see, it is widely thought to be more powerful. |

| | In spite of its deep influence on Greek Christian thinkers, Platonism was regarded with profound suspicion by the Byzantine Orthodox Church. | | | Each of the great Christian Platonists understood Platonism and applied it to the understanding of his faith in his own individual way, and of no one of them was this truer than of Augustine with his extremely strong personality and distinctive religious history. | | | This kind of theism, issuing in a strongly positive view of God's creation and a nobly austere but humane view of man's duty and destiny, was particularly apparent in the Christian humanism of the School of Chartres (12th century). |

| | Ficino did not condemn sexuality or erotics nor deny that Platonic love was only possible outside sexual relations; his only concern was the nature of the spiritual bond between two people. | | | The Islamic tradition had taught Europeans to prize empiricism, logic, hierarchy, and qualitative knowledge in relation to the "divine ideas." Finally, the strongest influence were the Byzantine traditions which continued the Neoplatonic speculation into the mind of God and, more importantly, continued the tradition of synthesizing philosophical traditions. | | | Once understood in spiritual terms, male-male sexual relationships could now be discussed in the same terms: in the Italian Renaissance, the language of male-male friendship and male-male erotics became the same. |

| | It is the Platonic representation of a universe on two levels, of which the higher, that of the divine, is the model of the lower, its symbol, where the world of the senses is to be found. | | | This, because it is symbol, is not self-sufficient and has no existence which is not a means to an end and derived: its end, according to God's plan, is to lead the soul to the divine, and sin consists in stopping the movement of the intelligence at it, putting it in place of the divine. | | | But it is probable that philosophical teaching in the great Platonic schools of Athens and Alexandria was hardly influenced at all, directly or indirectly, by Plotinus till, at earliest, well on in the fourth century A.D.

| | Difficulties in relating the forms of language and thought to time are, in the Platonic dialogues, enacted, illuminated, and transformed by means of a drama of interrelation, an enactment of freedom (eleutheria) as transcendence not of, but within community. | | | The forms of thought and existence – the Platonic ideas – are neither mere human postulates nor absolute beings in themselves. | | | Perhaps the fundamental question of Platonic inquiry is this: how is it that we are able to learn, arrive at the truth, and communicate our insight, given the fact that we always proceed from hypothetical and apparently contradictory archai (starting points)? |

| | The only way the lambda-forms can be equivalent to the Platonic forms is if we view the lambda-calculus as a language for talking about the forms, but recognize that the details of the language are completely irrelevant to the nature of the forms themselves, provided the language is at least as expressive as the lambda-calculus. | | | Platonic forms explain "sameness in difference"--how different things can be said to be somehow the same. | | | In it, he envisioned a world apart from our physical world of sensation--a world of "forms." These Platonic forms are not material objects, nor are they concepts in our heads--they exist on their own terms, apart from the physical universe, eternal and immutable. |

| | How Deep the Platonism? - FARMS Review |
| | This Platonic belief that one can become divine is unrelated to early Judeo-Christian notions that one is to become divine by entering God's presence and having one's body divinely transformed. | | | The historical/cultural evidence is that early Christianity believed in a God who is embodied, that each member of the Godhead is anthropomorphic and embodied, and that a doctrine of theosis was firmly in place in the early Christian church. | | | The furthest intrusion of Middle Platonic philosophy is seen in the church fathers Clement and Origen, but orthodox Christianity, especially as seen in the Creeds, rejects many aspects of Greek philosophy. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Neo-Platonism |
| | Christian thinkers, almost from the beginning of Christian speculation, found in the spiritualism of Plato a powerful aid in defending and maintaining a conception of the human soul which pagan materialism rejected, but to which the Christian Church was irrevocably committed. | | | So, too, when the ideas of Plotinus began to prevail, the Christian writers took advantage of the support thus lent to the doctrine that there is a spiritual world more real than the world of matter. | | | The Christian writer whose neo-Platonism had the widest influence in later times, and who also reproduced most faithfully the doctrines of the school, is the Pseudo-Dionysius (see DIONYSIUS, THE PSEUDO-AREOPAGITE). |

| | However, the seed of Socratic metaphysical idealism had now begun to grow as Plato, at least to an extent, was able to reconcile the existence of a spiritual realm with the parallelism of a material universe. | | | Second, just as Bahá'u'lláh has fulfilled the prophecies of the Great divine Teachers of the Ages, so, by incorporating the educated nomenclature of the Mosaic-inspired Socratic and Platonic philosophies, He was fulfilling, or completing, those systems as well. | | | Due to its insistence on the relative separation of the two worlds, pure Platonism would never become a truly mystical religious system. |

| | He answered the challenge of accounting for the emergence of a seemingly inferior and flawed cosmos from the perfect mind of the divinity by declaring outright that all objective existence is but the external self-expression of an inherently contemplative deity known as the One (to hen), or the Good (ta kalon). | | | With Ficino, then, we may say that Platonism achieved a brief moment of archaic glory, while with Pico, it was plunged once again into the quagmire of self-referential empiricism. | | | Pico's view of free will was quite different from that expressed by Plotinus, and indeed most other Neoplatonists, and it came as no surprise when Pico composed a treatise On Being and the One which ended on Aristotelian terms, declaring the One to be coincident with or persisting amidst Being -- a wholly un-Platonic doctrine. |

| | Platonists see these realities both as the causes of the existence of everything and as providing value and meaning to the contents. | | | As a consequence, they all came closer to a form of harmony, blurring the stark distinctions, which had existed between them. | | | "Platonism" was not created by Plato, and in the most general of terms, is an intense concern for the quality of human life -- always ethical, often religious, and sometimes political -- based on a belief in unchanging and eternal realities, which are independent of the changing particulars of the world perceived by the senses. |
