St Andrews Graduate Conference in Ancient Philosophy 2018, on:
Teleology, Intelligence and Life in the Platonic and Aristotelian Tradition
Teleology plays a central role in both Plato’s and Aristotle’s philosophy. It is essential in particular for their cosmological views and their conceptions of intelligence (nous) and life. We are interested in a deeper understanding of both Plato’s and Aristotle’s approach to teleology in all their aspects and the principal differences between them. We invite graduate students to submit high-quality papers on any topic related to teleology within the Platonic or Aristotelian tradition, broadly construed, in antiquity.
Keynote Speakers:
1. Mary Louise Gill (Brown)
2. Tba
Submission requirements:
Papers must be no longer than 3500 words, including footnotes and an abstract of up to 200 words and be submitted via EasyChair [https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sagcap2018]. Papers must be prepared for blind review and should be suitable for a presentation of ca. 30 minutes. Only one paper per student will be accepted.
Deadline for submissions:
11th of March 2018. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by the 8th of April 2018.
Conference Information:
The conference will take place in the beginning of June 2018 at the philosophy department of the University of St Andrews. Travel bursaries of up to £100 should be available for all speakers.
