Answer to Question 1

- Augustine's synthesis of Platonic and Christian concepts was a major influence in the development of medieval Christian doctrine and western philosophy.
- Plato's vision of a bifurcated universe with one realm of perfect Forms and another that can be perceived by sight and touch was adapted by Augustine to the Christian idea of transcendent God.
- Plato's vision of immortal souls striving to achieve union with this eternal realm through intellectual enlightenment was transformed by Augustine into immortal souls striving to achieve union with God through faith and reason.
