Even Augustine admitted that despite his anti-Christian views, he was the most learnt intellectual of his time.What’s /his/‘s consensus on Porphyry?
One reason was because he did not say weird conspiracies about them but instead made actual arguments aganist them including the Christian neoplatonists. The other was because of his his contributions to logic. He is responsible for a type of mapping of semantics to metaphysics that characterized a lot, if not almost all philosophy in Judaism, Islam and Christianity. The exception being some of the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Christians philosophers. This system centered on the five predicables. Like other metaphysically heavy semantics whether in Hindu, Christian or Islamic philosophy, for the most part it is pretty dead because of developments in logic like nominalism and logical pluralism. It is dead in the sense of the default choice. This means you would have to have reasons to justify the position.
