History Lovers don't miss this Zoom talk by Dr. James Rietveld "Hypatia of Alexandria: Female Intellectual, Philosopher, Pagan, Religious Conflicts, Twilight of Antiquity" on Thursday, June 11, 8 p.m.Pay What You Wish: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1989795151863" title="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1989795151863" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1989795151863</a>By all accounts, Hypatia, the famous female intellectual and philosopher from the city of Alexandria in Roman Egypt was an anomaly of her age, thriving during a time when so much of what she represented was systematically being rejected by the changing world around her.A Pagan woman in a Christian age dominated by religiously-charged power politics rather than ethical concerns, Hypatia was accepted by the enlightened of all faiths, whether Pagan, Christian, or Jew, viewed by them as a wise and seasoned adviser, while others, those steeped in the growing superstition and bigotry of the age, cried out that she must be a vile occultist practicing magic to deceive minds.Michael Deakin declares: Almost alone, virtually the last academic, she stood for intellectual values, for rigorous mathematics, ascetic Neoplatonism, the crucial role of the mind, and the voice of temperance and moderation in civic life.The violent public murder of Hypatia by those who failed to understand what she represented truly demonstrated that an Age of Ignorance had arrived, the Classical world of Greece and Rome was no more, and the medieval world had begun!Learn about this deep and insightful woman who fought so hard to maintain a world of toleration against all odds, never losing sight of her sense of purpose.Hypatia was a true hero, one that needs to be recognized, but, also, the age she lived in serves as a warning to how far a society can fall when knowledge and education are abandoned for power politics and superstition.Updated lecture with new material and insights!This lecture will be posted on the Dr. James Rietveld Salon Lecture You Tube channel, where you can also watch previous lectures: dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903Dr. James Rietveld is a professor at CSU, Fullerton and Cal Poly Pomona, CA of History, Anthropology, Religion with a PHD from Claremont School of Religion, is the author of two books, and can be seen on History channel's "Crazy Rich Ancients."
