Sebastian Ramon Philipp Gertz is a British-German historian of Ancient Philosophy.
In 2010 he received his PhD from Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, with a dissertation on the ancient commentaries on Plato's Phaedo by Damascius and Olympiodorus (published under the title Death and Immortality in Late Neoplatonism by Brill in 2011).[1]
Between 2010 and 2012, Sebastian Gertz was Assistant Editor to the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle Project[2] at King's College London, where he contributed a translation of Zacharias of Mytilene's dialogue Ammonius to the series (published together with John Dillon and Donald Russell's translation of Aeneas of Gaza's Theophrastus) (see Gaza Triad).[3]
He was elected to the position of Supernumerary Teaching Fellow in Philosophy at St John's College, Oxford in 2012.[4]
He is currently an independent researcher and continues to be interested in late antique philosophy, especially Neoplatonism.[5] His most recent publications have explored the connection between Gnosticism and Neoplatonism[6] and the teaching of ancient philosophy in the late 6th century.[7]
