Before converting to “Christianity ” at the age of 33, Augustine had become a Neoplatonist ​ — an adherent of a version of Plato’s philosophy developed by Plotinus in the third century.
Enne kui Augustinus 33 - aastaselt ristiusku pöördus, oli ta olnud uusplatonist, see tähendab toetanud Platoni filosoofiat, mida arendas edasi Plotinos 3. sajandil.
