Plato and Theodoret

In late antiquity, Plato's philosophy became a battlefield between the competing discourses represented by Hellenism and Christianity. Focusing on Theodoret of Cyrrhus' Graecarum Affectionum Curatio, this volume reassesses the strategies of appropriation and reconstructs a vital trial of strength between Neoplatonic hermeneutics and the Christian rhetorical mode of rewriting Plato.
