23^rd Annual Conference

April 4-6, 2024

Toronto Metropolitan University

We are pleased to solicit essays for the 23^rd annual meeting of the Ancient Philosophy Society, hosted by Toronto Metropolitan University in Toronto, Canada. This year’s event is taking place in conjunction with the 5^th Canadian Colloquium for Ancient Philosophy.

We invite submissions on any topic in Greek and Roman Philosophy. Submissions must be received by December 1, 2023.

The list of confirmed speakers includes:

• Amber Carpenter (Yale-NUS)
• David Ebrey (University of Barcelona)
• Marguerite Deslauriers (McGill University)

Please submit papers to our online portal: https://www.ancientphilosophysociety.org/paper-submission/

Questions can be submitted to: APSatTMU@torontomu.ca

Submission Guidelines

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

Papers must not exceed 3,000 words (max. 30 mins reading time), exclusive of footnotes and bibliography. Longer papers will not be forwarded to the Program Committee. Abstracts will not be considered for the program. We allow submission from those who have presented in the previous year, but to ensure balance we prioritize those who did not present in the previous year.

The APS values diversity in its membership as well as in its scholarly perspectives. We particularly invite submissions from members of groups underrepresented in philosophy, including women, people of color, LGBTQ2S+ individuals, and neurodivergent individuals, as well as persons who are otherwise abled. The event venue is fully accessible with gender-neutral restrooms. To make the event as accessible and welcoming to all persons as possible, we welcome any questions regarding accessibility, childcare support, and related matters.

The Ancient Philosophy Society was established to provide a forum for diverse scholarship on ancient Greek and Roman texts. Honouring 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. For additional information visit ancientphilosophysociety.org.

If you think that ancient philosophy has continuing relevance and resonance, then why not submit your next article to Ancient Philosophy Today? The journal’s guiding thought is that ancient theories are not ‘obsolete’; rather, they are serious philosophical texts that can inform current philosophical interests and debates.

A forum for top-quality work in ancient philosophy that engages with issues in contemporary philosophy

Ancient Philosophy Today both highlights the continuing importance of ancient philosophy and gives the field a greater sense of identity and direction. The journal publishes original research articles, book reviews and overview articles on key ongoing discussions.

The Ancient Philosophy Society is holding a zoom panel featuring graduate students working in ancient philosophy from institutions historically associated with the APS. Each participant will spend 5-10 minutes to present some of their work, some from within their dissertation project and others more broadly, after which there will be a chance to discuss all their projects big and small.

Please join us at 12noon EDT on 22-April to hear some of what’s up and coming in Ancient Philosophy. This is a student organized event. A flyer for the event is attached.
