Platonism(s) to Postmodernism

 Craig Carter draws on Lloyd Gerson's account of Platonisms broadly conceived (From Plato to Platonism), giving five characteristics of Platonism that he also sees as foundational for Christian Platonism which is rejected in modernity or post-modernity, which he views as a kind of hyper-modernism:

Platonisms ("Ur-Platonism") were: 

antimaterialsit

antinominalist

antimechanist

antiskepticist

and antirelativist. 

(Contemplating God with the Great Tradition, p290-294)
