The Duke and UNC Center of Late Ancient Studies (CLAS) Graduate symposium on March 19 will feature Professor Zlatko Pleše speaking on the question of God’s culpability for evil in the context of Hellenistic rhetoric and philosophy.

Increasingly, studies of late antiquity have problematized easy boundaries between religion and philosophy and between labels of identity such as “Neoplatonic,” “Christian,” and “Gnostic.” The goal of the symposium this year is to continue such investigation of intersecting identities in late antiquity.

This event is open to the public.
