No philosophical writings have survived from Hypatia (died, 415 CE), the most famous woman philosopher of the ancient world, but that does not imply that we cannot reconstruct in considerable detail what she likely taught. Socrates Scholasticus tells us that she taught the philosophy of Plato and Plotinus, that is, the philosophy we now call Neoplatonism or Late Platonism. Moreover, later philosophers do not report that she made any radical innovations in this philosophical tradition, and so it is likely she taught the “textbook Neoplatonism” of her time. Indeed, as professors still do ...

For too long, Christianity and evolution have been cast as enemies—faith clinging to the past, science racing into the future. But what if they were never meant to be in conflict? This book presents a bold vision: evolution is not chaos but a path, and Christianity reveals its goal.
