The 2025 series of talks within the research project The Platonisms of Late Antiquity will continue the exploration—initiated in the previous academic year—of the notion of principles in its broad application across the intellectual landscape of late antiquity. This year’s sessions will delve further into key questions such as: How do principles account for the structure of reality? In what ways do they explain the interaction between the divine and the human realms? And how do they make possible human happiness and salvation within the metaphysical framework of late antique thought?
