''The Neo-Platonists: A Study in the History of Hellenism'' is a comprehensive examination of the philosophical movement known as Neo-Platonism. Written by Thomas Whittaker, this book explores the origins, development, and influence of this school of thought within the broader context of Hellenistic philosophy. Whittaker provides a detailed analysis of the key figures associated with Neo-Platonism, including Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus, and Proclus. He also examines the philosophical and religious ideas that underpinned this movement, such as the concept of the One, the role of the soul in the universe, and the relationship between the individual and the divine. In addition to tracing the intellectual history of Neo-Platonism, Whittaker also explores its impact on subsequent philosophical and religious traditions. He argues that Neo-Platonism played a significant role in shaping the development of Christian theology, as well as influencing later thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas and John Scotus Eriugena. Overall, ''The Neo-Platonists: A Study in the History of Hellenism'' provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of one of the most important philosophical movements in the ancient world. It will be of interest to scholars and students of philosophy, religion, and intellectual history.1901.
