:::I wouldn't call it accurate to conflate "He Who Creates" with "The Form of the Good" or "Pure Actuality". It's more a neoplatonist thing, iirc? There's some subtle nuances that come about from them smuggling in some more specific assumptions that come up later in the history. I don't want to go searching through Kenny. >.> But as the article is written it's pretty explicitly Abrahamic, though the idea of a singular "God" is not Abrahamic. It just doesn't bear much relation to what's in this article.

::::Don't want to get too into the weeds on this – it was just a minor point meant to defend the non-Abrahamic-centrism of Wikipedia's choice – but I think Gerson is very convincing on the relationship of Plato and Plotinus 😛 – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 19:56, 23 January 2023 (UTC) | |||
