\nTheme: Mirroring the Classics in the Contemporary Philosophical Thought
\n\;
\nThe Fourth International Conference for Doctoral Students in Philosophy tries to explore the dialog and interplay between the contemporary philosophical thought and the canonical texts that lay at the foundation of philosophy as a discipline. We invite PhD students to explore a series of questions related to this main topic: how did contemporary authors integrate main concepts and theories of the classical philosophers and how did they transgress the philosophical canon in their speculative endeavor? What are the perils and shortcomings or advantages and benefits of interpreting the past philosophical thought with the contemporary conceptual tools? How new philosophical branches sprung out from the interpretative tradition of classical texts? What new political\, ethical\, social and aesthetical phenomena the contemporary philosophy study and what role past practices played in their emergence? What heuristic and educational value do contemporary reconstructions of the philosophical thought have for understanding our present?
