Platonisme .]
1 .
The doctrines or philosophy by Plato or of his followers .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
Plato believed God to be an infinitely wise ,
just ,
and powerful Spirit ;
and also that he formed the visible universe out of pre ["
e ]
xistent amorphous matter ,
according to perfect patterns of ideas eternally existent in his own mind .
Philosophy he considered as being a knowledge of the true nature of things ,
as discoverable in those eternal ideas after which all things were fashioned .
In other words ,
it is the knowledge of what is eternal ,
exists necessarily ,
and is unchangeable ;
not of the temporary ,
the dependent ,
and changeable ;
and of course it is not obtained through the senses ;
neither is it the product of the understanding ,
which concerns itself only with the variable and transitory ;
nor is it the result of experience and observation ;
but it is the product of our reason ,
which ,
as partaking of the divine nature ,
has innate ideas resembling the eternal ideas of God .
By contemplating these innate ideas ,
reasoning about them ,
and comparing them with their copies in the visible universe ,
reason can attain that true knowledge of things which is called philosophy .
Plato '
s professed followers ,
the Academics ,
and the New Platonists ,
differed considerably from him ,
yet are called Platonists . --

[
1913 Webster ]
2 .
An elevated rational and ethical conception of the laws and forces of the universe ;
sometimes ,
imaginative or fantastic philosophical notions .

1913 Webster ]
