Written by a group of leading scholars, this unique collection of
essays investigates the views of both pagan and Christian
philosophers on causation and the creation of the cosmos.
Structured in two parts, the volume first looks at divine agency
and how late antique thinkers, including the Stoics, Plotinus,
Porphyry, Simplicius, Philoponus and Gregory of Nyssa, tackled
questions such as: is the cosmos eternal? Did it come from nothing
or from something pre-existing? How was it caused to come into
existence? Is it material or immaterial? The second part looks at
questions concerning human agency and responsibility, including the
problem of evil and the nature of will, considering thinkers such
as Plotinus, Porphyry, Proclus and Augustine. Highlighting some of
the most important and interesting aspects of these philosophical
debates, the volume will be of great interest to upper-level
students and scholars of philosophy, classics, theology and ancient
history.
