Wikipedia, "Neoplatonism"

Wikipedia, accessed 2026

A community-maintained tertiary reference on Neoplatonism, directly examined. Its strength is naming theurgy as a specific ritual mechanism rather than a vague mysticism and dating its last major hymnist, Proclus; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a Neoplatonism studies monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.

Notes
Wikipedia's article on Neoplatonism, consulted 2026-08-13. Useful here for its description of theurgy, literally divine-working, as the rites the embodied soul performs to return to divinity, and its statement that the world is peopled by a crowd of superhuman beings, accessible to prayers and offerings, and for Proclus Lycaeus's dates, February 8, 412 to April 17, 485.
