    Platonism

    Platonism is the philosophy of Plato and philosophical systems closely derived from it, though contemporary Platonists do not necessarily accept all doctrines of Plato. Platonism has had a profound effect on Western thought. At the most fundamental level, Platonism affirms the existence of abstract objects, which are asserted to exist in a third realm distinct from both the sensible external world and from the internal world of consciousness, and is the opposite of nominalism. This can apply to properties, types, propositions, meanings, numbers, sets, truth values, and so on. Philosophers who affirm the existence of abstract objects are sometimes called Platonists; those who deny their existence are sometimes called nominalists. The terms "Platonism" and "nominalism" also have established senses in the history of philosophy. They denote positions that have little to do with the modern notion of an abstract object. Wikipedia

    Middle Platonism is the modern name given to a stage in the development of Platonic philosophy, lasting from about 90 BC - when Antiochus of Ascalon rejected the scepticism of the new Academy - until the development of neoplatonism under Plotinus in the 3rd century. Middle Platonism absorbed many doctrines from the rival Peripatetic and Stoic schools.

    Later on there will be a whole episode on the pagan-Christian dynamic and how it shaped ancient philosophy; the Gnostics will get in when I talk about Plotinus on matter. And I hope to cover the impact of the wider culture in other ways (I'm just now researching a later episode on rhetoric and ancient philosophy). So, stay tuned!
