MAKING SENSE OF THE ANCIENT GREEKS IN THE 21ST CENTURY International conference
May 22-23, 2023 Novosibirsk Akademgorodok Format: mixed (in person and on-line) The subject matter of this conference is focused on a combined engagement between modern philosophy and Greek philosophy. Participants are encouraged to present a reading of Greek philosophers concurrently with the ideas of modern philosophy that have shaped the 21st Century. In terms of Greek philosophy, participants are free to work with thinkers beginning with Thales of Miletus onwards to Proclus of the fifth Century AD. For modern philosophy, thinkers of the Enlightenment up to the present qualify. Regardless of choice, the presentation should remain focused on the relevance of the study for the 21st Century. The conference has no restrictions regarding a particular discipline, whether analytic, contemporary or otherwise.
Past events
The Roots of European Intellectual Tradition International conference December 8-10, 2022 Novosibirsk State University, Akademgorodok The wealth of thought of early Greek philosophers is striking in its diversity and comprehensiveness. They were true discoverers and pioneers in different fields of knowledge, whose intellectual influence can be clearly seen in the work of many later thinkers. Their biographies and ideas have inspired writers, poets, and artists for centuries and continue to occupy the minds of contemporary scholars. The fragmentary nature of their writings becomes a real challenge to philologists, philosophers and historians of Antiquity, and constantly inspires the search for answers to difficult puzzles. Their bold ideas are still echoed in contemporary discourse on the most complex questions of world order, ethics, and religion. All this convinces us of the need to establish a national society for the study of the legacy of the eminent pre-Socratic philosophers, and to hold regular conferences devoted to the discussion of their immortal ideas.

International Symposium

The theme of our previous symposium, which took place about five years ago and was devoted to the tradition(s) of education and the transmission of knowledge in antiquity, will now expand to include such interesting topics as the history of modern classical studies. We invite participants to consider within this framework both the contribution of individual scholars to classical scholarship and the formation (or refutation) of certain approaches to the study of the history and philosophy of the ancient world.
