This dissertation is a study of the initial steps of monastic training and socialization in fourth- and fifth-century Egypt with particular focus on connections to philosophical education and social practices, especially in the Neoplatonic tradition. This study explores aspects of this relationship of cultural competition between traditionally modeled philosophical groups and two early monastic groups-the Pachomian federation of monasteries and the Nitrian desert communities of Nitria, Kellia, and Scetis, the latter grounded particularly in the works of Evagrius of Pontus. In this investigation, I analyze the process of identity-construction, a project that involved a socialization process that began from the point of initial entry into a community, and solidified through a progressive program based on learned practical behaviors and an educational curriculum encompassing physical, intellectual, psychological, and spiritual components. In particular, four themes emerge to shape my study and provide points of connection and comparison across target communities: (1) A classical conceptualization of and approach to spiritual progress guides curricular planning, prescribed exercises, and general conduct for incoming members across the respective communities examined. (2) A focus on the beginner's way of life, with emphasis on ethical and spiritual transformation, is central to the educational endeavor across the communities. (3) Identity construction occurs from all facets of the newcomer's transformed social reality, which includes a radical break from past practices, values, and social dynamics, and involves a holistic reinstatement and reorientation into new practices, values, and social dynamics. (4) These trends can be observed in an examination and comparison of a beginner's planned experience in each target community, in which their prescribed transitionary and orientation periods often emerge in a sequential pattern of progression.
