We are happy to announce that the panel for the annual meeting of the Ancient Philosophy Society at the Society for Phenomenology and Existentialist Philosophy has been set.
We are honored to have two excellent speakers on a panel chaired by one of our co-directors, Matty Woodruff, Middlebury College.
- Dennis Schmidt, The Pennsylvania State University, “Telling the Truth: Homer, Plato and Heidegger”
- Rose Cherubin, George Mason University, “Parmenides: Another Way”
The panel will be held on:
- Thursday, October 29, 2009, 9am to noon, at the Marriott Key Bridge Hotel in Arlington, VA.
We hope as many of you as possible can attend. We look forward to another excellent session at SPEP this year.
We are happy to report that we have again received an enormous number of submissions to the 9th Annual Meeting of the Ancient Philosophy Society to be held this year at Loyola College in Maryland April 23-26, 2009. This year have received over 75 submissions for a program that has traditionally accommodated about 14 papers (not including invited keynote speakers.)
Although we have historically held to a tradition of having only plenary sessions at our annual conference, due to the large number of submissions we have been receiving over the past few years, we are looking into the possibility of having a few concurrent sessions so we can accept more of the excellent work submitted.
Decisions about the program will be made by February 15th, 2009 and we hope to have the online conference registration page for this year up and running by the end of December 2008.
Thank you to all who took the time to submit a paper to the Ancient Philosophy Society and know that we are working to accept as many excellent papers as possible.

The final conference of the “Year of Antigones” program sponsored by DePaul University will take place on May 15-17, 2008. Click here for Year of Antigones Program.
According to the Year of Antingones website:
“The Year of Antigones is a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, and community-wide series of events focused on the figure of Antigone, the tragic heroine of Sophocles’ play of the same name, and the various historical and contemporary appropriations of this figure. These events are organized by the Department of Philosophy at DePaul University, but will take place at various colleges, universities, theaters, performance spaces, and other venues throughout Chicagoland during the 2007-2008 academic year.”
