neoplatonism

School of philosophy that flourished during the declining centuries of the Roman Empire (3rd-6th centuries AD). Neoplatonists argued that the highest stage of philosophy is attained not through reason and experience, but through a mystical ecstasy. Many later philosophers, including Nicholas of Cusa, were influenced by neoplatonism.
