Christian Platonist and Neoplatonists
The following is a listing of Christian philosophers, theologiser, and authors with Platonist/Neoplatonist interests or influences. Their main plants, and especially those relevant to the subject of Christian Realism, are too presented ( but not consistently ).
`` Platonic influence '' is broadly delineate here; a author may be both worked by Plato and at the same clip rattlingly critical of specific Platonic or Neoplatonic dogmas.
Observe the actual detonation of involvement in Christian Realism during the Renaissance, followed by a dramatic absence from 1700 until the Twentieth century. The latter reflects several factors: the Reformation, the Enlightenment, the Technological revolution, and the modern empiricist- worldly-minded worldview. In a postmodern existence we may anticipate to see Renaissance humanitarianism and mysticism re-emerge, and along with them Realism and Christian Realism.
