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:

Social Media and the #APS11

This year we would like to encourage those attending the 11th Annual gathering of the Ancient Philosophy Society to use our various social media resources to enhance the quality of our academic experience at the conference.

The idea will be to enrich our time together, expose our work to a wider community and crowd source artefacts that will serve as a lasting record of what is sure to be an excellent conference.

So, here is how you can prepare:

At the conference, we encourage you to:
  • Tweet about the event using the #APS11 hash tag.
  • Post comments and pictures to our Facebook page.
  • Post pictures of Flickr using the APS11 tag.
  • Blog about the event; Tweet and Facebook links to your posts.
  • Have fun and enjoy the conference.

Gordon, Brill and Long Discuss Zuckert’s Keynote

Jill Gordon, Sara Brill and I gathered after the keynote address given by Catherine Zuckert at this year’s Ancient Philosophy Society meeting at Michigan State to discuss the lecture entitled, “Two Paradigms of Philosophy: Socrates and Timeaus.”

Catherine Zuckert has recently published an extensive study of the dialogues entitled Plato’s Philosophers: The Coherence of the Dialogues with the University of Chicago Press.  In that text, she offers a reading of the dialogues in accordance with the chronological order of the drama they articulate.

We also talked about the Ancient Philosophy Society in general and continued our ongoing discussion of the meaning and nature of Plato’s writing.
