Antiochos of Ascalon was a philosopher who belonged to the school founded by Plato, the Academy, and lived in the first century BCE. He is an extremely important thinker in the history of ancient Platonism because he was a pupil of Philon of Larissa, who belonged to the so-called Skeptical Academy. Later he distanced himself from his teacher to establish an innovative form of dogmatic Platonism incorporating as much Stoicism as philosophy of Aristotle and (partially) of Theophrastus. For this reason, Antiochos’ thought has been called “syncretistic.”

Abstract

Antiochos of Ascalon was a philosopher who belonged to the school founded by Plato, the Academy, and lived in the first century BCE. He is an extremely important thinker in the history of ancient Platonism because he was a pupil of Philon of Larissa, who belonged to the so-called Skeptical Academy. Later he distanced himself from his teacher to establish an innovative form of dogmatic Platonism incorporating as much Stoicism as philosophy of Aristotle and (partially) of Theophrastus. For this reason, Antiochos’ thought has been called “syncretistic.”
