Against claims that Origen causes History to evaporate into barren idealism, this work shows that his theology have no other source and aim than historical occurrences. It sheds light upon the Aristotelian character of Origen's doctrine of apokatastasis.

Against claims that Origen causes History to evaporate into barren idealism, his theology is shown to have no other source and aim than historical occurences. Fronting assertions that he has no eschatological ideas, this Eschatology is explicated in all its clarity. Light is cast upon the Aristotelian character of Origen’s doctrine of apokatastasis, proving this based on ontological necessity, not a historical one.

Panayiotis Tzamalikos is Professor of Philosophy at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. He studied at this University (MSc, MPhil) and at the University of Glasgow, Scotland (Ph.D.). He has published extensively on Origen considered in the entire context of both Patristic Thought and Greek Philosophy. His books include The Concept of Time in Origen and Origen: Cosmology and Ontology of Time. Among his articles, “Origen: The Source of Augustine’s Theory of Time”, “Origen and the Stoic View of Time”, “Creation ex nihilo in Origen”, “The Autonomy of the Stoic View of Time”, “The Concept of matter in Plato’s Timaeus”.
