A Virtual Conference Jointly Sponsored by

The Ancient Philosophy Society for the Study of

Ancient Greek and Roman Thought

June 13-14, 2024

We are pleased to solicit abstracts for a conference jointly sponsored by the Ancient Philosophy Society and the International Plato Society, to be held remotely from June 13-14, 2024. The purpose of this meeting is to foster dialogue between scholars in Asia-Oceania and their colleagues across the globe (Europe, Africa, and The Americas), so submissions from diverse cultural and geographical regions are strongly encouraged.

In keeping with the aim of the conference, which is to cultivate intellectual and scholarly friendships across cultures, we invite submissions on Plato’s Lysis. All submissions must be received by January 31, 2024.

Authors from Asia and Oceania:

Please submit abstracts to: ipsapsjoint.asiaoceania@gmail.com

Please submit questions to: ipsapsjoint.asiaoceania@gmail.com

Authors from all other parts of the globe:

Please submit abstracts to: APS2024@emory.edu

Please submit questions to: jrbell3@emory.edu

The name, institution, and references pertaining to the identity of the author must be omitted from the abstract, notes, bibliography, and document properties to facilitate anonymous review.

Submission Guidelines:

Abstracts must be written in English. Only one submission per author will be considered. Submission implies that the abstract and resulting paper are entirely the author’s own unpublished work and that, where appropriate, the contributions of others are acknowledged. Abstracts must not exceed 300 words; and full-length papers for those who are accepted should be between 1,500-3,000 words (max. 20 mins reading time), exclusive of footnotes and bibliography. Longer abstracts and complete papers will not be forwarded to the Program Committee. In keeping with the goal of the APS to support a variety of interpretive methods, authors are encouraged to include in their abstracts a brief reflection on their approach to reading and thinking about Plato.

The Ancient Philosophy Society was established (2001, Villanova University) 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.

The International Plato Society promotes Platonic studies throughout the world and communication among scholars of diverse disciplines working on Plato. For additional information, please visit platosociety.org.

Biological Perspectives on Political Animals in Aristotle

A colloquium on « Biological Perspectives on Political Animals in Aristotle » will be held at the Galatasaray University (Istanbul) on April 29-30, 2013. This event is organized through the collaboration of the Galatasaray University, the UPR 76 of CNRS (Paris) and the University of Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne.

The program of the colloquium can be viewed at: http://perspectivesbiologiques.wordpress.com/programme/

Other details of the colloquium can be reached from the same page.

Please help us circulate this information.

Theme:

Since the second half of the last century, there has been an increasing interest in Aristotle’s biological works. This interest has led to a “biological turn” in Aristotelian studies, which has resulted in a reevaluation of his theory of science and in a substitution of the question of classification with that of definition. Today, there is high quality literature on the relation between the Metaphysics, the Analytics, and Aristotle’s biological writings. The “biological turn” in Aristotelian studies has also created a similar effect on works on his Politics: every change in the theory of animals has produced a change in the theory of political animals. Researches in this domain prove to be very productive and show rapid development. This is why we believe that this is a favorable time for devoting a conference to the Politics, and for discussing the effects of the “biological turn” on the famous Aristotelian formula that “human being is a political animal by nature.”

Speakers:
Ӧmer Orhan Aygün (Galatasaray University)
Pinar Canevi (Boğaziçi University)
Johannes Fritsche (Boğaziçi University)
Annick Jaulin (University of Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne)
Manuel Knoll (Fatih University)
Jean-Louis Labarrière (CNRS Centre Léon Robin)
David Lefebvre (University of Paris Sorbonne – Centre Léon Robin)
Pierre-Marie Morel (ENS Lyon)

The 11th Annual Ancient Philosophy Society Conference

The 11th annual meeting of the Ancient Philosophy Society at Sundance, Utah was a great success.  Thanks to the generous hosting institution, Utah Valley University, and to Michael Shaw and the UVU Honors program, the Ancient Philosophy Society gathered together for a full and philosophically rich five days in Utah’s Wasatch mountain range.

The APS Facebook page as a number of links to blog posts, images and other resources related to the conference, but I thought I would gather a few resources here as well.  I invite others who have written about or posted artifacts surrounding our 11th annual conference to link to those resources here in the comments section.

I have also embedded a slideshow with some of the pictures posted to Flickr of the event:

APS Digital Community Update

I thought I would give everyone a few updates on things related to our digital community at the Ancient Philosophy Society as we begin to turn our attention to the upcoming conference at Michigan State.

First, I am very pleased to see that we have, as of this writing, 292 fans on the Ancient Philosophy Society Facebook page. I encourage all readers of this blog to join us on Facebook where not only posts from this blog appear, but also comments and posts from others writing on our wall can be found.  I would love to see a more dynamic conversation both here and there on the Facebook page.

In order to facilitate that, I would like to propose that we use the following twitter hash tag for the 2010 conference: #APS10.  You can follow my tweets about the conference at: http://www.twitter.com/cplong and I invite other members who use twitter to comment below with your twitter name and to use the #APS10 hash tag when you tweet something related to this year’s conference.

Also, I hope people will take pictures of the activities around the APS conference this year and post them on the Facebook page as well.  Those of you with Flickr accounts can also use the APS10 tag for your pictures if you post them so we can begin creating a collection of photos for the Society.

Finally, if there are members of the APS who would be interested in co-authoring this blog with me, please contact me at admin@ancientphilosophysociety.org.  I would love to see if we can generate some more content for this blog from members interested in posting things related to our work together on the ancient texts.
