Thomas Taylor?s Dissent from Some Eighteenth-Century Views on Platonic Philosophy: The Ethical and Theological Context. 330 $aThis work synthesizes work previously published in leading journals in the field into a coherent narrative that has a distinctive focus on Germany while also being aware of a broader European dimension. It argues that the German Lutheran Christoph August Heumann (1681-1764) marginalized the biographical approach to past philosophy and paved the way for the German Lutheran Johann Jacob Brucker?s (1696-1770) influential method for the writing of past philosophy, centred on depersonalised and abstract systems of philosophy. The work offers an authoritative and engaging account of how late ancient Platonism, Plotinus in particular, was interpreted in eighteenth-century Germany according to these new precepts. Moreover, it reveals the Lutheran religious assumptions of this new approach to past philosophy, which underpinned the works of Heumann and Brucker, but also influential reviews that rejected the English Plato translator Thomas Taylor (1758-1835) and his understanding and evaluation of late ancient Platonism. 410 0$aInternational Archives of the History of Ideas Archives internationales d'histoire des idées,$x2215-0307 ;$v227 606 $aPhilosophy$xHistory 606 $aProtestantism 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aHistoriography 606 $aHistory$xMethodology 606 $aHistory of Philosophy 606 $aProtestantism and Lutheranism 606 $aAncient Philosophy / Classical Philosophy 606 $aHistory of Early Modern Europe 606 $aHistoriography and Method 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory. 615 0$aProtestantism. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aHistoriography. 615 0$aHistory$xMethodology. 615 14$aHistory of Philosophy. 615 24$aProtestantism and Lutheranism. 615 24$aAncient Philosophy / Classical Philosophy. 615 24$aHistory of Early Modern Europe. 615 24$aHistoriography and Method. 676 $a180-190 676 $a184 700 $aCatana$b Leo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0933798 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349542503321 996 $aLate Ancient Platonism in Eighteenth-Century German Thought$92102281 997 $aUNINA
