CENTERS OF RESEARCH AND PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS

The Cambridge Centre for the Study of Platonism is a forum for research on the Platonic Tradition, especially Neoplatonism, its sources, significance and legacy. Neoplatonism is the shape that Platonism took in Late Antiquity, especially through Plotinus and Proclus, and influenced decisively the philosophies of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim worlds. 'Neoplatonism' is thus a term that denotes not so much one school of philosophy, but rather an intellectual paradigm, and a way of life, disseminating its influence in myriad forms of thought and culture. Committed to both the significance of this tradition and its continuing relevance, the Centre hosts a weekly seminar on a key Neoplatonic text and supports symposia and research projects in the field. The Centre welcomes applications from students who wish to study the Platonic tradition and it also seeks to foster collaborations with other scholars and institutions in Platonic studies.
