CALL FOR PAPERS
The Ancient Philosophy Society was established to provide a forum for diverse scholarship on ancient Greek and Roman texts. Honoring the richness of the American and European philosophical traditions, the APS supports phenomenological, postmodern, Anglo-American, Straussian, Tübingen School, hermeneutic, psychoanalytic, queer, and feminist interpretations of ancient Greek and Roman philosophical and literary works.
THEME: Although papers on all topics relating to the continental interpretation of ancient philosophy are welcome, this year’s conference organizers are especially interested in assembling one or two panels relating to the themes of xeniaor ‘hospitality’ and the xenos or the ‘foreigner, stranger,’therebybringing the ancients into the urgent contemporary conversation about social/political issues such as immigration, national identities, and border policy.
Submissions cannot exceed 3000 words in length (not including notes) and must be prepared for blind review.
Send to: APS2020@depaul.edu
The conference hosts at DePaul University this year are Michael Naas, Sean D. Kirkland, and William McNeill.
