Origen’s relation to philosophy is a highly debated topic, as evidenced by the discussions at the 13th Origeniana conference hosted by Münster University, Germany, in August 2022. The papers presented in this volume show divergent approaches to this relationship, revealing the nuanced and sometimes conflicting interpretations prevalent in contemporary scholarship. The different areas of research are grouped into four sections: Origen and philosophy: contexts and contours; Origen and philosophical traditions: Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, Philo, and others; philosophy, exegesis, and spirituality in the writings of Origen; Origen’s philosophical ideas from Late Antiquity to Modern Times. The volume thus contributes to a reassessment of Origen’s complex relation to philosophy and his role in the history of philosophy.
