How did philosophy influence the following?

answers1: The ideas of Plato had always been of interest to
Christians. Plato was well known. <br>
"Christian thinkers, almost from the beginning of Christian
speculation, found in the spiritualism of Plato a powerful aid in
defending and maintaining a conception of the human soul which pagan
materialism rejected, but to which the Christian Church was
irrevocably committed. All the early refutations of psychological
materialism are Platonic. So, too, when the ideas of Plotinus began to
prevail, the Christian writers took advantage of the support thus lent
to the doctrine that there is a spiritual world more real than the
world of matter." <br>

<br>
Neo-Platonism was incorporated forever into the theology of
Christianity by St. Augustine. Then 1000 years later Aristotle was
incorporated forever into Christianity by Aquinas. <br>
<br>
But the fact is that the Church allowed no philosophers it did not
approve of for more than 1000 years. Boethius was the last one
allowed. Anyone born into the Christian world who tried to think for
himself was put to death. <br>
<br>
Religion influenced architecture and art, hence so did philosophy. The
philosophy of art, music, literature, etc., including architecture, is
called esthetics. <br>
