The paper will focus on the ethical transformation of the cosmological perspectives that accompanied Plato’s (Timei) philosophy and neoplatonic commentary on it. The purpose of the study is to analyze the Christianization of ancient doctrines, which resulted in the Christianization of the idea of the World Soul by Augustine. The lack of a common understanding of human nature served as an additional conflict-generating factor in Christological disputes, being at the intersection of three late antique traditions. It is planned to outline the key schemes of Christianization of ancient anthropology without giving up polemics with heresies of late Hellenism.
