Passions, Dispassion, and the Ordering of Life.
International Day Conference on Reception of the Tenth Commandment.
Septuagint, Philo, Clement of Alexandria, Maximos the Confessor, Aquinas
An international interdisciplinary conference exploring the tenth commandment and its prohibition on coveting or desire.
The tenth commandment “thou shalt not covet” is often the most obscure and yet has been the focus of much reflection by connecting it to a prohibition of desire. This day conference brings together scholars of the Greek Bible, Antiquity and Patristics to discuss what it might mean for passion to be limited or regulated by law.
