Note 318 — Lecture VII. GREEK AND CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY. I. The Creator.
Reading edition
The best account of Plato’s complex, because progressive, theory of matter is that of Siebeck, Plato’s Lehre von der Materie, in his Untersuchungen der Philosophie der Griechen, Freiburg im Breisg. 1888. The conception of it which was current in the Platonist schools, and which is therefore important in relation to Christian philosophy, is given in the Placita of Aetius, ap. Stob. Ecl. 1. 11 (Diels, p. 308), and Hippol. Philosoph. 1. 19.
