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
May 12-13, 2022
Novosibirsk State
University
Academgorodok,
Novosibirsk, Russia
Program
The symposium is dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the
journal ΣΧΟΛΗ. 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.

Program
A
Decad has passed since the journal ΣΧΟΛΗ
was organized for a group of enthusiastic young scholars
gathered in Akademgorodok (Novosibirsk, Russia) in order to
accomplish a project entitled Teaching classics. The
participants and our honorary international guests discussed
various aspects of Ancient intellectual tradition, but above
all, tried to understand the ways it can influence contemporary
university curriculum. We would now like to invite interested
colleagues to continue this discussion and are planning to
organize a symposium, dedicated to tradition(s) of education and
transmission of knowledge in Antiquity.
All interested
scholars are welcome to contribute.
