This chapter discusses the selected topics from the Latin tradition of Neoplatonism to give the reader some idea about the richness and variety of that tradition. The authors chosen belong to late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, and represent the three currents of the Neoplatonic tradition that developed in this period: Augustinian, Dionysian, and Boethian Neoplatonism. Each of these forms of Neoplatonism was started in Christian antiquity by a “founding father” of its own, was developed by some medieval followers, and had its beginning in the philosophical schools of pagan antiquity. The chapter presents the way all three revolved around the same principal theme, that is, man as microcosm, yet each of them stressed a different aspect of that rich subject.
