Interesting view that the subversion of theology in 300CE that Bruno
Marchal refers to (closure of the academy) can be blamed almost
completely on both Aristotle and Plato (pox on both their houses :).
I think we have discussed this. Maybe you can recall their argument.
Note that the closure of the academy happened in 527.
300CE is the time of Plotinus, and the beginning of neoplatonism,
which is what Justinien will end in occident by closing the academy,
and persecuting the "pagan philosopher". From Plato (-300 to Damascius
+500) theology is still a science. Only after 527 has that science
been leaved to a clergy and argument-per-authority.
Bruno
Also interesting is the view that pantheism (what I'd call Spinoza's
god) and atheism are not that far removed from each other.
Cheers
