Neoplatonism
(also called Neo-Platonism) (Greek:
Νεοπλατωνισμός), is the
modern term for a school of mystical
philosophy that
took shape in the 3rd century CE, based on the teachings of Plato
and earlier Platonists,
with its earliest contributor believed to be Plotinus,
and his teacher Ammonius
Saccas. Neoplatonism focused on the spiritual and cosmological
aspects of Platonic thought, synthesizing Platonism with Egyptian[1]
and Jewish theology
Islamic Neoplatonism
"For
Muslims, Plato, Aristotle, and Plotinus are part of the Islamic
tradition in the same manner that
Abraham
is regarded to be a prophet of
Islam."
[38]
Arabic scholars and philosophers utilized the works of Plato,
Aristotle, Plotinus, and other Neoplatonist philosophers to evaluate,
assess, and eventually adapt Neoplatonism to conform to the
monotheistic constraints of Islam.
[39]
Arabic scholars, like earlier Neoplatonic thinkers, read and
philosophized the works of Plato, and developed similar questions and
conclusions. The translation and interpretation of Islamic
Neoplatonists had lasting effects on western philosophers, affecting
Descartes' view
on the conception of being. Important figures that translated and
shaped Islamic Neoplatonism were
Avicenna
(Ibn Sina),
al-Ghazali,
al-Kindi,
al-Farabi, and
al-Himsi.
