Step into the intellectual battlefield of the Late Byzantine era, where the 'Last of the Hellenes' dares to challenge the centuries-old dominance of Aristotle. George Gemistos Plethon resurrects the ancient wisdom of Plato and Zoroaster, inviting you to discover a universe where the physical world is but a shadow of a divine, intelligible reality.
