Christian Neoplatonism

Christian Neoplatonism is a philosophical and theological movement that blends the teachings of late ancient Neoplatonism with Christian beliefs. It emphasizes that the divine source, or the One, is the ultimate reality, and all creation emanates from it. Thinkers like Augustine and Pseudo-Dionysius explored how the soul seeks union with God through contemplation and moral practice. This perspective bridges philosophical inquiry with Christian faith, highlighting that understanding and loving God leads the soul back to its divine origin, fostering spiritual growth and a deeper grasp of divine mysteries.
