Classical Philosophers Plato Socrates Aristotle The great philosophies of the time when Christianity was being formed

Classical Philosophers: Good? Rational Order to the Universe Eternal Values of Truth, Beauty and Goodness Knowledge is Objective

Classical Philosophers: Bad? Plato:

Plato: Good and/or Bad? Good Bad

Plato: Good and/or Bad? Bad Stuff: Allegory of the Cave: The material world is the realm of error The path to knowledge is to free ourselves from bodily senses to gain insight into the realm of the Forms Matter/Form are pre-existent The Creator is only a sculptor.

Plato vs. Christian Worldview The material world is evil and the source of chaos. Both matter and form are eternal. The “flesh” is part of the evil world. The material world is part of God’s good creation. Only God is eternal God came in human “flesh”

Augustine: -Raised a Christian but rebelled. -Became a Manicheist, then a Platonist. -Later converted to Christianity.

Augustine’s Plato Baggage -Kept belief of double-creation. -Dualistic thinking. -Asceticism -“Ordinary” work is inferior to metaphysical contemplation

Classical Philosophers: Bad? Aristotle:

Aristotle: Good and/or Bad? -Comprehensive Philosophy included Ethics, aesthetics, science, & politics -He was so influential that some Christians were both Aristotelians and Christians even if certain things were contradictory.

St. Thomas Aquinas: -Dominican Monk -Against the Aristotelian/Xian contradictory view -Christianized Aristotle.

Thomas Aquinas: Improvements -Natural processes are good. -God is God and his creation is the work of a good Creator. -Ends asceticism

Thomas Aquinas: 1 Failure -Like Aristotle, he affirmed the nature of purpose of things is immanent in the world. -Humans are an exception.

Thomas Aquinas: 1 Failure -Translation: the world is not primarily oriented toward God. -“Grace” is a supernatural add on, to a naturalistic world.

Restored the dignity and value to the “lower-story” The Reformers: Calvin Restored the dignity and value to the “lower-story” Ordinary life is important because it is part of God’s world.
