Warburg Neoplatonic Studies
A well-established and friendly Neoplatonic Reading Group is held on a weekly basis under the auspices of the Warburg Institute: it runs on Thursdays during term time from 5 to 7pm (London time) via Zoom.
The seminar is open to all – to those who have and do not have ancient Greek, to those well-versed in ancient Neoplatonic philosophy and to those who are not. The only requisite is ‘a desire to know’. Each week the seminar studies a short passage or two in English translation (though those who prefer to read the original Greek are not forbidden from doing so!).
An annual syllabus is arranged in early autumn every year to run until June.
Contact details and the current syllabus can be found here:
