Hypatia of Alexandria: THE LAST SCHOLAR OF THE ANCIENT WORLD: Hypatia's Legacy: Science, Philosophy, and the End of an Era and the Fall of the Ancient

By Michael Webster

A brilliant mind. A city on the brink. A tragic end that changed the course of history.

In the late fourth century, the great city of Alexandria was a battleground of ideas, a place where the glory of ancient knowledge clashed with the rising tide of religious power. At the heart of this struggle stood Hypatia, a philosopher, mathematician, and public figure of extraordinary intellect and influence.

As the last great scholar of a fading golden age, she advised emperors, taught students from every faith, and dedicated her life to the relentless pursuit of truth. But in a world consumed by fanaticism and political strife, her commitment to reason made her a target. Her life became a powerful testament to intellectual courage, and her brutal murder a brutal and symbolic end to an era of tolerance.

This book is the definitive account of Hypatia's life, stripping away centuries of myth to reveal the real woman behind the legend. It is a compelling journey into a lost world of knowledge and conflict, and a timeless reminder of why the fight for intellectual freedom and reason is a battle worth fighting.
