Ah, that's a good point. Yes,
Ah, that's a good point. Yes, perhaps I should emend that to "Augustine" rather than "Plotinus" -- especially having devoted more episodes to Augustine in this series than to Avicenna!

Hi,Peter,in your blog
Hi,Peter,in your blog post,you write"Avicenna is the most significant thinker between Plotinus and Aquinas",But what about Augustine? Most philosophers think Augustine is more important than Avicenna and Plotinus.
