Platonism, or specifically "Neoplatonism", Derrida for example realized later on that all ideas of philosophy of the past 600 years were already discovered/discussed or prefigured by the Neoplatonists.
Schopenhauer is nothing but reformulated Platonist metaphysics, minus the excessive pessimism.
Blumenberg rediscovered the might of mythopoetics, the Hellenes were masters of sumbolism, he finally broke with rationalism. As Plato so long ago understood, reason (dianoetics) can't get you farther than the edge of Being. But God in his highest form is beyond logic and gnosis. To reach beyond you must embrace paradox and night.
