neo-platonism  

Définition

  • Neo-Platonism is an interpretation of Plato that posits not only a realm of eternal essences, or Forms, above the flux of material existence, but a principle of unity higher than being, to which the forms owe their integrity, both as individual entities and as a class. Because the philosopher's goal is approximation to this perfect unity, the regulation of corporate or individual life in the lower sphere can be of interest to him or her not as an end but as a means to emancipation.
