Description: Further DetailsTitle: Hypatia of AlexandriaCondition: NewSubtitle: Her Context and LegacyEAN: 9783161549694ISBN: 9783161549694Publisher: Mohr SiebeckFormat: PaperbackRelease Date: 07/07/2020Description: Sixteen hundred years after her death (d. 415 CE), the legacy of Hypatia of Alexandria's life, teaching, and especially her violent demise, continue to influence modern culture. Through a series of focused articles, this volume takes a fresh look at the most well-known ancient female philosopher under three aspects: first, through the evidence provided by her most famous pupil, Synesius of Cyrene; next, by placing her in her late antique cultural context, and, finally, through analysis of her reception both ancient and modern. Though the sources are meager, Hypatia's influence on her students and wider culture guaranteed that she remained an important figure throughout the centuries, albeit one ranging from chaste Neoplatonist to conniving witch. Along with its eleven new essays, this volume also includes a new translation of all the principal ancient sources touching on Hypatia.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 156mmItem Length: 232mmItem Weight: 545gContributor: Dawn LaValle Norman (Edited by), Alex Petkas (Edited by)Author: Dawn LaValle NormanGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Studien und Texte zu Antike und Christentum / Studies and Texts in Antiquity and ChristianityRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
