Eros in Ancient Philosophy- 03-04/05/2019, Cambridge (England)
Whether they viewed Eros as a fundamental aid to philosophical progress, believed Philia to be the driving cosmic force of the universe, or sought to regulate desire out of concern for its ethical and political ramifications, ancient philosophers from the Presocratics through the Neoplatonists deemed Eros in all its variations to be worthy of philosophical discussion. In this spirit, we invite graduate students and early-career researchers (within three years of completion of their degree) from a range of disciplines in the humanities—philosophy, literature, theology, political theory—to submit papers exploring the role of ‘love’ (Eros, Philia, Agape, Amor, Voluptas) in ancient ethics, political philosophy, cosmology, aesthetics, and philosophical practice and method.
