What's the difference between neoplatonic and neoplatonism?
Neoplatonic
Definition:
(a.) Of, pertaining to, or resembling, Neoplatonism or the Neoplatonists.
Example Sentences:
(1) Yet the meaning is unclear, a fillip of animal optimism after a book-length, clear-eyed exaltation of Nature as a chemical and molecular and mathematical construct - Nature seized in the tightening grip of science, and stripped of the pathetic fallacy even in the sophisticated form in which Emerson's Neoplatonism couched it.
(2) She worked on geometry, astronomy and neoplatonic philosophy and was a popular teacher.
(3) His interpretation is a relapse of neoplatonism and represents antirational agnostic spiritualism with utopic antipsychiatric elements.
Neoplatonism
Definition:
(n.) A pantheistic eclectic school of philosophy, of which Plotinus was the chief (A. D. 205-270), and which sought to reconcile the Platonic and Aristotelian systems with Oriental theosophy. It tended to mysticism and theurgy, and was the last product of Greek philosophy.
