Plotinus lived during a time of political disaster in Rome. Roman rulers were placed and removed at will by the army in return for favours. German tribes from the north and Persians from the east profited from this scenario: the Roman army was more concerned with domestic political struggle rather than defending the borders Sounds like the Ebola administration. Pestilence reduced the population, unsuccessful military campaigns increased expenditure and taxes while resources diminished The next step in President Ebola's plan to fundamentally transform the US. The resemblances between Platonic and Christian thought are so strong that Christian theologians used many ideas of Plotinus to build their philosophy We should remember that Christianity predates Plotinus. Platonism played a central role in shaping Christian theology. Christian religion developed during the time of Rome and combined Platonism, some philosophical beliefs from the Stoics and Orphism, esoteric aspects traceable to cults of the Near East, and morals and history acquired from Judaism. Christian theology appears full blown in first century Jewish Palestine. See the NT.
