Chair of Late Ancient and Arabic Philosophy

Prof. Dr. Peter Adamson

Chair of Late Ancient and Arabic Philosophy

The focus of our chair is on ancient and medieval philosophy, especially later ancient philosophy and philosophy in the Islamic world.

Both research and teaching have a strong philological component, in that we trace the transmission and reception of classical Greek philosophy in later, especially Neoplatonic, works of antiquity, and of Greek philosophy in Arabic.

But we also aim to demonstrate the philosophical interest of pre-modern texts and bring them into conversation with modern-day philosophical concerns.
