The Ancient Philosophy Society was established to provide a forum for diverse scholarship on ancient Greek and Roman texts. Honoring the richness of the American and European philosophical traditions, the Ancient Philosophy Society supports phenomenological, postmodern, Anglo-American, Straussian, Tübingen School, hermeneutic, psychoanalytic, and feminist interpretations of ancient Greek and Roman philosophical and literary works.

It is the intention that, within the larger aim of assessing the meaning and significance of ancient texts, the Ancient Philosophy Society serve as the site of critical engagement among these various schools of interpretation and that it encourage creative and rigorous independent readings.

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy and the Society for the Study of Islamic Philosophy and Science invite the submission of abstracts for conference papers to be presented at their annual meeting at Fordham University.  Although the original objective of the annual meeting was to emphasize interrelationships between ancient Greek and Islamic philosophy, over the years we have branched out to include a wide range of topics in ancient, medieval, Islamic, and  Asian philosophy.

Panel proposals must include the following: Panel title, name of chair of panel, all speakers (and commentators, if any); academic affiliations of all participants, titles of papers, email addresses and postal addresses of all participants.  Additionally, each presenter will need to submit a one-page (300-500 words in RTF or Word format) paper abstract by June 1.

Individual paper proposals must include the following: Paper title, author’s name, academic affiliation, a one-page (300-500 words in RTF or Word format) abstract, email address, and preferred postal address.
