The relationship between Platonism and ancient Gnosticism is a fascinating, complicated, and strange tangle of joint influences, transformation, complimentary and clashing philosophies. That’s why we’re doing this special 3 part series on the topic with Joanne Leone. Here in part 1 we lay out some Plato basics and then dive into the later currents of Middle Platonism and start to connect some themes to the ancient Gnostics. Make sure to come back for part 2 and 3!
