Late Antique thought has produced new intellectual phenomena and syntheses that influenced later developments both in Europe and the Middle East. In the present course, we will treat some of these, which rank among the most important. Such is the idea of the Christian Roman Empire as an earthly reverberation of God’s monarchy in Heaven and also as the Katekhon, "Retainer" of the Antichrist, the cult of the saints, the birth of monasticism, Gnosis as a lasting underground current of European and Middle Eastern culture, and Manichaeism as a peripheral and persecuted intellectual current (not to say religion), but one which even contra punctually (through Saint Augustine, for example) influenced our world.
