FROM PLATO TO PLATONISM

anti-nominalism, anti-mechanism, anti-materialism, anti-relativism, and anti-skepticism. Plato',s Platonism is an attempt to construct the most consistent and defensible positive system uniting the five antis. It is also the system that all later Platonists throughout Antiquity attributed to Plato when countering attacks from critics including Peripatetics, Stoics, and Sceptics. In conclusion, Gerson shows that Late Antique philosophers such as Proclus were right in regarding Plotinus as the great exegete of the Platonic revelation.
