Hi Jason,
thank you for your comment. Cusanus would have been in full agreement with you.
Neoplatonism is a wonderful, dynamic and immensely important philosophy.
Congratulations on your series ‘Highlights of the Western Tradition’, I’m appreciating it very much.
Best wishes, Phil

Hi Jason,
Cusanus is a key part of the suppressed history of Neoplatonism. Even Hopkins, who has dedicated himself to translating his works, downplays his significance.
Academics (particularly in philosophy) have a huge amount to answer for.
Very best wishes Jason to you and your family for Christmas and the New Year,
Phil
