Two-day International conference of ancient philosophy
Two-day International conference of ancient philosophy
This conference seeks to showcase leading examples of current work in ancient philosophy that engages (in content or in method) with contemporary philosophy, as well as work in contemporary philosophy that significantly draws on ancient philosophical ideas. The theme of the conference will thus accord closely with that of the journal Ancient Philosophy Today: DIALOGOI.
This is the third iteration of Philosophising with the Greats. The first iteration was held in March of 2022, and the second in September of 2023.
