Spring and Summer Terms 2025: Nature 

In its eleventh year, during the Summer Term of 2025, the Neoplatonic Studies
seminar will focus on Plato and the Platonic tradition on Nature. The seminar is, as it has
been from its inception, open to all – to those who have and do not have ancient 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
(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)
