Platonic Polytheism Persisting (ISNS 2026 Presentation)

Posted on June 14, 2026June 13, 2026 by Gus

I am happy to share a video of a presentation I recently gave at the 23rd Annual Conference of the International Society for Neoplatonic Studies entitled "Platonic Polytheism Persisting: Surveying the Living Platonisms of Contemporary Pagan Thought". Here, I present an argument that in the last ~25 years, Platonic texts and ideas have become more popular and more influential among contemporary Pagans. This has certain implications for how both practitioners and how legacy Pagan Studies scholarship has sought to define the word, "Pagan".

I am very grateful to Martiana [1] [2] for cohosting this panel with me, as well as to the excellent hosts at KU Leuven and the organizers of the ISNS for a great conference.
