It seems that the later Platonists, while undoubtedly opening up new avenues to explore, were sometimes a bit more dogmatic about these things that Plato himself (likely) was.
Will be interested to hear your thoughts on Nous and how it is understood and used in Christian (especially Orthodox Christian thought). Was reading the Philokalia, and their understanding of it seems to be very specific but not unlike certain ways Plotinus and other Platonists understood a particular faculty of the soul.
