Example text
Porphryry however attacked Christianity directly. This and the attempt to align with pagan religion in a common front is a feature of the later history of the movement. lamblichus, a pupil of Porphyry and the leading figure of the Syrian school, incorporated the pagan gods into the Plotinian system and otherwise expanded and complicated its hierarchy. More important than this however is the change of ethos which becomes apparent in Neoplatonism at this time. Plotinian mysticism was supplemented and partially overshadowed by the mechanics of theurgy, a kind of cosmic acupuncture by which it was considered possible to reach out to the divine beings by a manipulation of material objects associated with them.
This includes, in the case of animals with multiple sense faculties, the capacity to integrate the information derived from the various organs of sense - eyes, ears, touch, nose and taste - so that, for instance, noise may be related to an object seen. This synthetic faculty, which Aristotle refers to as the 'common sense', is fallible, unlike the operations of the special senses. The latter, being directly PLATO, ARISTOTLE AND THE NEOPLATONISTS 23 stimulated by their object, he considers to be incapable of deceiving.

One of the great contributions of St Augustine to Latin Christianity was his justification of the role of secular learning for the theologian. His own world view, which he bequeathed to the early middle ages, as well as his spiritual progress towards Christian belief were heavily indebted to ancient philosophy.
