  1. neoplatonist

    A Neoplatonist is a follower or adherent of Neoplatonism, a philosophical and religious system developed in the 3rd century AD by Plotinus and his successors. It is based on the teachings of Plato and Platonism with mystical and metaphysical emphasis, specifically regarding the nature of the universe, the soul, and God or the One. Neoplatonists believed in the existence of a transcendent and perfect One from which everything else emanates. This system of thought greatly influenced Christian, Jewish, and Islamic theology, as well as Western mysticism and the arts.
