Neoplatonism \Ne`o*pla"to*nism\, n. [Neo- + Platonism.]
A pantheistic eclectic school of philosophy, of which
Plotinus was the chief (a. d. 205-270), and which sought to
reconcile the Platonic and Aristotelian systems with Oriental
theosophy. It tended to mysticism and theurgy, and was the
last product of Greek philosophy.
