Many have seen this as evidence that there was a [[syncretism]] between Christology and [[Platonism]]. The debate about the [[nature]] of [[Jesus|Christ]] from the first century through the Council of Chalcedon in 451 CE must be understood in light of the pervasive [[worldview]] of ''Platonic [[dualism]]''. Platonism is normally divided into four periods: Old Academy 347-267 BC, New Academy 267-80 BC, Middle Platonism 80BC-250 AD, and Neoplatonism 250 AD through to the Reformation [http://www.iep.utm.edu/n/neoplato.htm]

In contradistinction to a specific religion, Platonism was a basic understanding of the operation of the [[cosmos]], which saw the [[material]] world in a dualistic fashion; separated from a [[transcendental|transcendent]] God, but communicated with by the logos ([[thought]], [[wisdom]], [[creativity]]). In simple terms: Platonism thought of the [[spirit]] world as good and the physical world as [[evil]].
