Autumn Term 2024: Platonic and Neoplatonic Doctrines of the Soul (continued)
Spring and Summer Terms 2025: Nature
In its eleventh year, the Neoplatonic Studies Seminar will, during the Autumn Term, resume last year’s readings on Neoplatonic interpretations of the soul. In the Spring and Summer Terms it will focus on Neoplatonic interpretations of writings on Nature. The seminar is, and has been from its inception, open to all - to those who have and do not have Greek, to those well-versed in ancient Neoplatonic philosophy, and to those who are not. The only requisite is ‘a desire to know’. Each week the seminar studies a short passage or two in English translation (though those who prefer to read the original Greek are not forbidden from doing so).
The seminar is organised by Sara Miglietti (Warburg), Tim Addey (Prometheus Trust), Harold Tarrant (University of Newcastle, Australia), Dilwyn Knox (UCL), and Rodger Sykes (Birkbeck).
Texts will be distributed via email before each session.
Place and time
Seminars will take place via Zoom, Thursdays, 5.00-7.00pm [UK time]. To join the seminar, please email Rodger Sykes (rodgersykes@icloud.com)
