Metaphysics and Epistemology in Plato’s Academy -21-22/02/2018, Durham (England)
A workshop to investigate the relationships between metaphysics and epistemology as they were interwoven within Plato’s Academy. It seeks to understand the co-implication of the theories of being and knowledge not only as they are expressed in Plato’s later dialogues (especially Sophist, Philebus, Statesmanand Laws) but also in the writings and testimonies of Plato’s younger contemporaries in the Academy (Eudoxus, Aristotle, Speusippus, Xenocrates, Philip of Opus, and Heraclides of Pontus).
Please, note that the workshop is meant to coincide with the visits of Lloyd Gerson (Toronto) and David Sedley (Cambridge) to the newly-launched Durham Centre for Ancient and Medieval Philosophy on, respectively, the 20th and 22nd of February.
