294 THE FORMATION OF CHRISTENDOMPlotinus, like Philostratus, was fully aware of the newpower which was stirring the world, and he searchedthe whole arsenal of Greek thought for a counter force.His philosophy is the ultimate ground taken up byHellenism, on which to fight its last and desperatebattle with the advancing Christian Church.Nor is it only the last chosen ground of conflict,but likewise the development of a complete antagonismin which heathendom gathers itself up to produce onits own domain and from its own principles all thoseeffects which it saw the Christian Church in the trainof accomplishing. It aimed at satisfying the mindand heart of man with regard to the same objectswhich the Christian Church had made of primaryinterest in the world. At the moment1 when Am-monius Sakkas and Plotinus founded their school, thesearch after the Absolute was the capital problemwhich agitated and troubled minds. What the Philosophercalls the Absolute, the Christian calls God.But to produce such a state of things had been thework of the Christian Church. In Seneca's time sucha question would have been otiose, a complaint whichhe makes in fact, when he says that so few regardphilosophy. Plotinus felt that the unity of the Godheadhad assaulted the polytheistic worship with aprodigious force, and he set up a counter unity to itwith which he wished to satisfy the reason on oneside, and spread an aegis over the whole pantheon ofGreek and Oriental gods on the other.For, further, his system is a heathen analogon ofChristianity, to which it stands just as the pretendedApollonius stands to Christ. Apollonius was theman-god, in that, possessing in his soul a portion of1 Jules Simon, Alexandrine Philosophy, Preface, p. i.
THE NEOPLATONIC PHILOSOPHY AND EPOCH295the divine reason, in virtue of it he possessed allknowledge and the power of working miracles. Assuch, he was set over against the God-man. As aspecimen of human nature in its highest condition,he was to bear a comparison with human nature asassumed by a Divine Person, in which fact the wholeChristian revelation is summed up. The force of thesimultaneous connection and contrast lies preciselyin this, that Apollonius not only stood entirely onheathen ground, but represented unassisted humannature. Such as he was, Pythagoras had been andothers might be. On this ground he was to rival,encounter, and, as Philostratus thought, to prevailover Christ. Just so the system of Plotinus wasintended on a heathen basis to meet and encounterthe Christian Church at all points, wage war with itfor the possession of human hearts, satisfy the yearningswhich it had called forth, and all this in virtueof a force belonging to human nature itself.This triple thesis, -that the Philosophy which wehave above contemplated in its chief features was thelast production and outcome of Hellenic thought, thatit was the development of a complete antagonism withthe Christian mind, and at the same time a heathenanalogon of it, I shall now proceed to illustrate.\nThis will be done sufficiently, I think, if we considerunder three heads the opposition between the Neo-platonic system and the Christian Creed. The firstopposition will be between the Primal Being as conceivedin the system, and God as He is in Hirnselr
