The Problem of Evil and the Theory of Contraries from Alexandria and Athens to Armenia in Late Antiquity

Benedetta Contin · 2020

Catalogue summary

Armenian philosophical reception of the problem of evil is reconstructed through David the Invincible, the pseudepigraphic Every Evil Is Punishable, and comparisons with three Greek texts.

Why this matters

The edition and textual comparison make late-antique Armenian thought part of a broader Neoplatonic and anti-Manichaean transmission history.
