Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Susanna Drake, "Veiling in the Late Antique World" (Cambridge UP, 2026)

Q: How do you interpret the Ambrosiaster's stance on veiling in the fourth century, and what does that say about gender and power?

Drake describes Ambrosiaster as reinforcing Pauline hierarchy and endorsing male control over female ascetics, illustrating how veiling served to depict subordination within church authority; she uses this to argue against simplistic readings that equate veiling with universal oppression and to emphasize the complexity of gender dynamics in late antiquity.

Susanna Drake, "Veiling in the Late Antique World" (Cambridge UP, 2026)

Q: Can you introduce yourself and explain how you got interested in veiling?

Susanna explains her background as a scholar who focuses on Greek, Roman, and Christian antiquity, and recounts how questions about variegated veiling practices—triggered by early work on Origen and allegory—led her to pursue the topic in late antiquity, combining feminist theory, art history, and primary texts to explore the multiplicity of veiling meanings.

Q: So let's jump in. I want to focus on the article that you and Oystein wrote called Actor-Oriented Organizing. Briefly tell us what inspired the article, and also can you give us a little sense of what's the essence of the article?

Snow explains that Actor-Oriented Organizing is an administrative technology designed to move organizations toward self-organization, emphasizing distributed decision-making, knowledge Commons, and protocols that enable collaboration across actors.

Christopher S. Celenza, "The Evolution of Western Thought: Volume 1, From the Ancient World to Late Antiquity" (Cambridge UP, 2025)

Q: How does Plato's idea of logos evolve in your discussion?

Logos is shown as a dynamic, dialogic process of conversation and mutual interpretation, not merely a set of rational arguments, which underpins a continuous, communal search for truth.

Christopher S. Celenza, "The Evolution of Western Thought: Volume 1, From the Ancient World to Late Antiquity" (Cambridge UP, 2025)

Q: What role does Christianity play in transforming philosophy, according to your book?

Christianity amplifies and redirects philosophical themes, reinterpreting the soul, virtue, and the good life within a broader religious narrative that becomes a pervasive substructure of Western thought.
