Marc-Antoine Gavray studied Philosophy and Classics in Liège and Paris. His work has taken him to both sides of Antiquity, focusing at times on Plato and the Sophists, and at others on the late Neoplatonists (Damascius, Philopon and Simplicius), with a few forays into the intervening period. His current research bears witness to this ‘double duality’, as he is preparing a translation with commentary of Plato’s Hippias, as well as an edition with translation and notes of the Neoplatonic Commentaries on Plato’s Phaedo (in collaboration with Pieter d’Hoine, KULeuven). For some years now, he has also been interested in the questions raised by the concept of philosophy as a way of life. Marc-Antoine Gavray is involved in several collective research ventures: he is a member of the MéThéor research centre (co-director from 2016 to 2018), a founding member and secretary of the contact group “La tradition platonicienne dans l’Antiquité”, and co-organiser with Thomas Bénatouïl (Lille) and Sylvain Delcomminette (ULB) of the LilLiBru seminar.
