Exploring Mythos and Logos in the Platonic Tradition

Following on from his recent Fintry Trust talk on The Problem of Modernity – A Spiritual Crisis in Essence, we are pleased to welcome back Dr Brendan O’Byrne, of Trinity College, Dublin.

In this Zoom presentation, which will be followed by a question and answer session, Dr O’Byrne will speak on the nature and inter-relations of muthos (myth) and logos as it emerges in the Platonic tradition.

Speaker: Dr Brendan O’Byrne studied for his PhD under the renowned Platonic scholar Professor John M. Dillon, and began teaching at Trinity College, Dublin in the mid-1990s. His area of speciality is ancient philosophy, particularly the Platonic tradition, but his areas of interest are wide, including German Idealism, Philosophy of Technology, Philosophy of Religion, and Political Philosophy.

He is currently researching a work on political philosophy and writing his first novel. He has been very active in a number of outreach projects since the late 2000s.
