We are a scholarly community engaged with Christian Platonism, especially figures like St. Dionysius, St. Maximus, and Nicholas of Cusa. We also explore Plato, Neoplatonism, and their reception in Jewish and Islamic traditions. Our main event is a recurring symposium begun in 2022.

Conversations on Christian Platonism, metaphysics, and theology

Our annual symposium has explored Dionysius, Aquinas, Maximus, Nicholas of Cusa, and the broader Christian Platonic tradition.
