Neoplatonism also had links with Gnosticism , which Plotinus rebuked in his ninth tractate of the second Enneads: Due to their belief being grounded in Platonic thought, the neoplatonists rejected Gnosticism's vilification of Plato's demiurge , the creator of the material world or cosmos discussed in the Timaeus.
Neoplatonism has been referred to as orthodox Platonic philosophy by scholars like John D. Turner ; this reference may be due, in part, to Plotinus' attempt to refute certain interpretations of Platonic philosophy, through his Enneads. Plotinus believed the followers of Gnosticism had corrupted the original teachings of Plato and often argued against likes of Valentinus who, according to Plotinus, had given rise to doctrines of dogmatic theology with ideas such as that the Spirit of Christ was brought forth by a conscious god after the fall from Pleroma.
According to Plotinus, The One is not a conscious god with intent nor a godhead nor a conditioned existing entity of any kind, rather a requisite principle of totality which is also the source of ultimate wisdom. After the Platonic Academy was destroyed in the first century BC, philosophers continued to teach Platonism , but it was not until the early 5th century c.
Other schools continued in Constantinople , Antioch and Alexandria which were the centers of Justinian's empire. In the early seventh century, the neoplatonist Stephanus brought this Alexandrian tradition to Constantinople, where it would remain influential, albeit as a form of secular education.

Michael Psellos — a Byzantine monk, writer, philosopher, politician, and historian. He wrote many philosophical treatises such as De omnifaria doctrina. He wrote most of his philosophy during his time as a court politician at Constantinople in the s and s. He introduced his understanding and insight into the works of neoplatonism during the failed attempt to reconcile the East—West Schism at the council of Florence.
Cosimo subsequently appointed as head Marsilio Ficino , who proceeded to translate all Plato's works, the Enneads of Plotinus, and various other neoplatonist works into Latin. There were three major reasons for the prominence of neoplatonic influences in the Islamic world:.

Various Arabic scholars and philosophers, including Avicenna Ibn Sina , Ibn Arabi , al-Kindi , al-Farabi , and al-Himsi , adapted neoplatonism to conform to the monotheistic constraints of Islam.
The translation and interpretation of Islamic neoplatonists had lasting effects on Western philosophers, affecting Descartes ' view on the conception of being. In the Middle Ages, neoplatonist ideas influenced Jewish thinkers, such as the Kabbalist Isaac the Blind , and the Jewish neoplatonic philosopher Solomon ibn Gabirol Avicebron , who modified it in the light of their own monotheism.
Neoplatonist ideas also influenced Islamic and Sufi thinkers such as al Farabi and Avicenna. The works of Pseudo-Dionysius were instrumental in the flowering of western medieval mysticism, most notably Meister Eckhart. Neoplatonism ostensibly survived in the Eastern Christian Church as an independent tradition and was reintroduced to the West by Pletho c.
Plethon 's Platonic revival, following the Council of Florence — , largely accounts for the renewed interest in Platonic philosophy which accompanied the Renaissance. Neoplatonism was not just a revival of Plato's ideas, it is all based on Plotinus' created synthesis, which incorporated the works and teachings of Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras, and other Greek philosophers.
The Renaissance in Italy was the revival of classic antiquity, and this started at the fall of the Byzantine empire, who were considered the "librarians of the world", because of their great collection of classical manuscripts and the number of humanist scholars that resided in Constantinople Hole.
Neoplatonism in the Renaissance combined the ideas of Christianity and a new awareness of the writings of Plato. Marsilio Ficino —99 was "chiefly responsible for packaging and presenting Plato to the Renaissance" Hole.
In , Cosimo I de' Medici, patron of arts, who had an interest in humanism and Platonism, provided Ficino with all 36 of Plato's dialogues in Greek for him to translate. Between and , Ficino translated these works into Latin, making them widely accessible, as only a minority of people could read Greek.
And, between and , he translated the works of Plotinus, making them available for the first time to the West.

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola —94 was another excelling neoplatonist during the Italian Renaissance. He could not only speak and write in Latin and Greek, but he also had immense knowledge on the Hebrew and Arabic languages. The pope banned his works because they were viewed as heretical — unlike Ficino, who managed to stay on the right side of the church.
The efforts of Ficino and Pico to introduce neoplatonic and Hermetic doctrines into the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church has recently been evaluated in terms of an attempted "Hermetic Reformation".
In the seventeenth century in England, neoplatonism was fundamental to the school of the Cambridge Platonists , whose luminaries included Henry More , Ralph Cudworth , Benjamin Whichcote and John Smith , all graduates of the University of Cambridge. Coleridge claimed that they were not really Platonists, but "more truly Plotinists": Notable modern neoplatonists include Thomas Taylor , "the English Platonist", who wrote extensively on Platonism and translated almost the entire Platonic and Plotinian corpora into English, and the Belgian writer Suzanne Lilar.
The science fiction writer Philip K. Dick identified as a neoplatonist and explores related mystical experiences and religious concepts in his theoretical work, compiled in The Exegesis of Philip K.
