Bruno, I am not sympathizing with the Neo-Platonist dogmatists. I am the ultimate anti-Platonist. And Christians, in the Eastern Orthodox sense... are the ultimate modern Neo-Platonists (all other Christians are degenerate except some Catholics).... if you want the living tradition of Neo-Platonism, become eastern orthodox. hehe. or go to Iran (Illuminationism, and other schools).
