CALL FOR PAPERS: INDETERMINACY IN ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY

CALL FOR PAPERS INDETERMINACY IN ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY Convenors: Ugo Zilioli (Oxford University) and Refik Güremen (Middle East Technical U., Ankara) Literature on indeterminacy and vagueness has expanded rapidly, especially since the late twentieth century. In recent decades, the debate has intensified, driven by a growing interest in metaphysical and ontic indeterminacy. Philosophers are exploring various models and methods to investigate indeterminacy and vagueness across multiple fields, including the metaphysics of ordinary objects, personal identity, mereology, states of affairs, truth-making, philosophy of physics, and time, alongside traditional sorites paradoxes. The discussion is largely shaped by a trichotomy of semantic, epistemological, and metaphysical approaches (J. Robert G. Williams, Philosophy Compass, 2008), with recent advancements in modality and hyperintensionality also contributing to the discourse. It is reasonable to hope that these contemporary developments will inform, illuminate, and motivate fresh interpretations in the history of philosophy, particularly regarding ancient Greek and Latin thought. Epistemic [...]

VIIIth Platonic Summer Seminar on Plato’s Parmenides (23.06–30.06.2024)

The eighth edition of the Platonic Summer Seminar in Lanckorona (Poland) on Plato’s Parmenides will take place on 23.06–30.06.2024. We will attempt to interpret the dialogue as an exposition of the theory of principles. We are also going to discuss the implied meaning of the Parmenidean One and its dialectical relation to the Many, as well as the multifarious interpretations of the One. A close reading of the text in conjunction with classical Neoplatonist commentaries (Plotinus, Proclus, Damascius) and modern studies (Hegel, Natorp, Heidegger, Colli, Benardete) will be complemented with lectures by contemporary scholars: Claudia Baracchi, Massimo Cacciari, Lloyd Gerson, Francisco Gonzalez, Edward Halper, Claudio Moreschini, Carlos Steel.
