Details
Proposals are invited for 30-minute papers at a Conference on Indian and Greek Thought, at the University of Exeter, July 9-12, 2014.
This is part of the AHRC funded project 'Ātman and Psyche. Cosmology and the Self in Ancient India and Ancient Greece', conducted by Dr. Richard Fynes of de Montfort University and Professor Richard Seaford of the University of Exeter..
More information about the project appears at http://atmanandpsyche.exeter.ac.uk/
The theme of the conference is the striking similarities (and reasons for the similarities) in philosophical thought between India and Greece in the period before Alexander crossed the Indus in 326 BCE. Papers that concentrate mainly on one or other of the two cultures, or on a later period, are not necessarily ineligible, provided that they are likely to stimulate discussion of the main theme.
