Platonopolis: Platonic Political Philosophy in Late Antiquity
O'Meara, Dominic J. (, University of Fribourg, Switzerland)
Conventional wisdom suggests that the Platonist philosophers of Late Antiquity neglected the political dimension of their Platonic heritage in their concentration on an otherworldly life. This work presents a reappraisal of these thinkers, arguing that their otherworldliness involved rather than excluded political ideas.
