In Numenius's Neo-Pythagorean and Middle Platonist cosmogony, the Demiurge is second God as the nous or thought of intelligibles and sensibles.

Plotinus sought to reconcile Aristotle's energeia with Plato's Demiurge, which, as Demiurge and mind ( nous ), is a critical component in the ontological construct of human consciousness used to explain and clarify substance theory within Platonic realism ( also called idealism ).

This is the Good above the Demiurge, and manifests through the work of the Demiurge.

The dyad is energeia emanated by the one that is then the work, process or activity called nous, Demiurge, mind, consciousness that organizes the indeterminate vitality into the experience called the material world, universe, cosmos.

Plotinus ' form of Platonic idealism is to treat the Demiurge, nous as the contemplative faculty ( ergon ) within man which orders the force ( dynamis ) into conscious reality.

The Demiurge of Neoplatonism is the Nous ( mind of God ), and is one of the three ordering principles:

Thus, a triad is formed of the intelligible nous, the intellective nous, and the psyche in order to reconcile further the various Hellenistic philosophical schools of Aristotle's actus and potentia of the unmoved mover and Plato's Demiurge.

Several systems of Gnostic thought present the Demiurge as antagonistic to the will of the Supreme Being: his act of creation occurs in unconscious semblance of the divine model, and thus is fundamentally flawed, or else is formed with the malevolent intention of entrapping aspects of the divine in materiality.

The Demiurge, having received a portion of power from his mother, sets about a work of creation in unconscious imitation of the superior Pleromatic realm: He frames the seven heavens, as well as all material and animal things, according to forms furnished by his mother ; working however blindly, and ignorant even of the existence of the mother who is the source of all his energy.

We are told also, that the Demiurge is of a fiery nature, the words of Moses being applied to him, “ the Lord our God is a burning and consuming fire ,” a text used also by Simon.

Another alternative title for the Demiurge, “ Saklas ,” is Aramaic for “ fool ” ( Syriac sækla “ the foolish one ”).

According to one variant of the Valentinian system, the Demiurge is besides the maker, out of the appropriate substance, of an order of spiritual beings, the devil, the prince of this world, and his angels.

But the devil, as being a spirit of wickedness, is able to recognise the higher spiritual world, of which his maker the Demiurge, who is only animal, has no knowledge.

The devil resides in this lower world, of which he is the prince, the Demiurge in the heavens ; his mother Sophia in the middle region, above the heavens and below the Pleroma.

Gnosticism attributed falsehood, fallen or evil, to the concept of Demiurge or Creator ( see Zeus and Prometheus ), though sometimes the creator is from a fallen, ignorant or lesser, rather than evil, perspective ( in some Gnosticism traditions ), such as that of Valentinius.

Thus their understanding of the Demiurge is similarly flawed in comparison to Plato ’ s original intentions.

All such imitations of negative quality have given rise to a compensatory response in the form of a heroic and highly individualistic humanism: if man can neither know nor love reality as it is, he can at least invent an artistic `` reality '' which is its own world and which can speak to man of purely personal and subjective qualities capable of being known and worthy of being loved.
