Conventional wisdom suggests that the Platonist philosophers of Late Antiquity neglected the political dimension of their Platonic heritage in their concentration on an otherworldly life. This work presents a reappraisal of these thinkers, arguing that their otherworldliness involved rather than excluded political ideas.
