Platoâs heritage in historical perspective: intellectual transformations and new research strategies (St. Petersburg, August 28th-30th 2018) The International Plato Society (IPS) is pleased to announce the colloquium âPlatoâs heritage in historical perspective: intellectual transformations and new research strategiesâ, which will take place in St. Petersburg, Russia on the 28th and 30th of August 2018. The colloquium will serve as a platform for the IPS Executive Committeeâs mid-term meeting. The study of Platoâs heritage is a way of diagnosing modernity â in so far as it is made explicit in philosophical discourse.

We propose the following topics for the colloquium: The history of Plato interpretation as an element of the evolution of European culture. Different periods and tendencies of interpretive programs. Schools of thought and intellectual trends which shaped and determined the study of Plato in the [...]
