Dear Clark
I do not know if there is a connection from Timaeus to Aristotle who ‘s hyle
has inspired Peirce synechism. It is true that Hyle contains the possibilities
for making a limited amount of forms (inspired from Plato’s ideas). Pierce –
inspired by Hegel and Schelling’s objective
Dear Clark
I have developed these thought and their relation to Perennial Philosophy more
in
http://www.transpersonalstudies.org/ImagesRepository/ijts/Downloads/A%20Peircean%20Panentheist%20Scientific%20Mysticism.pdf
and in a couple of other articles to the Concordia transcendentalists.

Dear Clark
As I understand it Peirce’s God develops according to Agapism or the growth of
love and reasonability. Here he has some similarity to Neoplatonism, but it is
a universal philosophy of a religion of love combining mystical Buddhism and
Christianity.
