Ancient Philosophy
The Ancient Philosophy group is a research group based at the Department of Philosophy.
Research
Members of the research group habitually publish the results of the seminar-workshop-conference processes in respected, peer reviewed channels. Part of this is done individually, but the group also has a solid track record for succeeding with collaborative efforts, such as Plato’s Protagoras: Essays on the Confrontation of Philosophy and Sophistry (Springer 2017), Readings of Plato’s Apology of Socrates (Lexington Books 2018), Philosophy as Drama: Plato’s Thinking through Dialogue (Bloomsbury 2019), and Democracy and Its Rivals: Plato’s Statesman and Laws (special issue of Polis, 2020).
Among our many international collaborators in recent years are Arlene Saxonhouse, Catherine Rowett, Charlotta Weigelt, Claudia Baracchi, Cynthia Freeland, Drew Hyland, Elena Irrera, Ellisif Wasmuth, Emanuela Bianchi, Jacob Howland, John Sallis, Laura Rabinowitz, Marina McCoy, Melissa Lane, Paul Ludwig, Paul Woodruff, and Ryan Balot.
