Category: Neoplatonism
The (far-off and perhaps impossible) goal of this section is to give an eventually complete set of entries on the Neoplatonists, with information about their lives, teacher-student relationships and works (both lost and surviving); not just including philosophical writers in the narrower sense, but also, for example, late antique writers on mathematics who taught at the Academy of Athens and similar institutions. I also include some Christian thinkers, although they all diverge significantly from Neoplatonism.

I welcome any corrections and additions, but note that I do not aim to give comprehensive bibliographies, only to compile the best information.
