Colloque
Origen of Alexandria (185-254 CE) dominated the intellectual landscape of late antiquity. As a classically trained grammateus, he was deeply conversant with Platonic philosophy. His musings on the ontological status of evil reflect his broader conception of the relationship between philosophy and theology. In my paper I will begin by exploring his stance on the employment of philosophy in theology. I will then analyze his conception of evil, particularly his privative definition of evil as “nothing” and “non-being,” and show how it exemplifies his complex employment of philosophy in his theology.
