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.
See our events and contact us if you would like to attend a discussion or lecture.
On October 7th, we held our second annual symposium. Click below for more information.
