Registration is now open for Symposium Platonicum XIII: Plato’s Sophist, in Athens, GA, USA (Jul. 18-22, 2022)

The International Plato Society organizes a symposium on a single Platonic dialogue every three years. We are pleased to announce the XIII Symposium Platonicum: Plato’s Sophist. The Symposium will take place July 18–22, 2022, at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia, USA. Submissions on any aspect of the dialogue, including its Presocratic sources and later reception, will be considered.
