Neoplatonism and Gnosticism
Neoplatonism (also Neo-Platonism) is the modern term for a school of philosophy that took shape in the 3rd century CE, based on the teachings of Plato and some earlier Platonists. Neoplatonism took definitive shape with the philosopher Plotinus, who claimed to have received his teachings from Ammonius Saccas, a dock worker and philosopher in Alexandria.
