Workshop on Plato’s Laws – March 26-28, 2009
University of Kentucky
Lexington, KY
The workshop is specifically designed to bring Philosophy together with Classical Studies and Political Science, appealing in particular to researchers studying the nature of law, political community, and individual identity. The participants include both senior Plato scholars and young professors from diverse areas of specialization ranging from phenomenology to hermeneutics to Straussian interpretation, all united in their methodological respect for Plato’s artistry. The plan of the workshop is to conduct an open but disciplined discussion that is comprehensive and intensive, focusing all attention on one central text, the Laws, and going through its 12 books in order.
Eric Sanday (University of Kentucky) and Greg Recco (St. John’s College, Annapolis) organized the conference. Generous support was provided by the University of Kentucky. All sessions will be held at the Hilary J. Boone Center on the campus of the University of Kentucky. Hotel rooms at Workshop rate available until February 26. For more information, contact Eric Sanday at eric.sanday @ uky.edu
