DESCRIPTION:<p>We are pleased to announce a call for papers for the first session of the Atelier Pr&eacute\;socratiques\, co-organised by Mathilde Br&eacute\;mond (Universit&eacute\; Clermont Auvergne)\, Arnaud Mac&eacute\; (Universit&eacute\; Marie et Louis Pasteur\, Besan&ccedil\;on)\, Lucia Saudelli (Universit&eacute\; de Montpellier&mdash\;Paul Val&eacute\;ry) and Anne-Laure Therme (Universit&eacute\; Paris Est-Cr&eacute\;teil). This workshop\, which will be held each year at one of the four universities mentioned\, will provide an opportunity to discuss current research on the &lsquo\;Presocratics&rsquo\; (including literary\, poetic and religious texts of philosophical interest\, the writings of the sophists and the contemporary Hippocratic corpus)\, as well as their reception.</p>\n<p>The inaugural session will be held on <strong>6&ndash\;7 November 2025 at the Universit&eacute\; Clermont-Auvergne</strong> (in person) and will focus on the theme of &lsquo\;<strong>the infinite</strong>&rsquo\;. Barbara Sattler (University of Bochum) will be the keynote speaker.</p>\n<p>The infinite (<em>apeiron</em>)\, which refers both to that which is unlimited (in space\, time or number) and to that which is indeterminate (indistinct or undefined)\, plays a central role in Presocratic questioning and brings physical\, mathematical and logical issues into dialogue. We will be particularly interested in contributions dealing with:</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; the infinite as a pre-existing primordial entity\, and the cosmogonic narratives that draw on it\;</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; infinity as a property of the universe or its elements\, and the debate between finitude and infinity of the world or of being\;</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; the relationship between determination and indeterminacy in the physical world\;</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; the infinite as an object of the mathematical sciences (infinite number\, infinite set\, etc.)\;</p>\n<p>-&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; logical paradoxes linked to infinity (division to infinity\, going back to infinity\, etc.).</p>\n<p>Proposals (max. 2\,500 characters)\, which may be written in the main languages of scientific research\, must be submitted by <strong>31 March 2025</strong> on the following website: <a href="https://forms.gle/ZUxwg83HxQ1WLucq8">https://forms.gle/ZUxwg83HxQ1WLucq8</a>. They will be examined anonymously\, on the basis of their soundness and originality. All authors responding to this call will be informed of the committee&rsquo\;s decision in early May. The Atelier Pr&eacute\;socratiques will provide on-site accommodation and meals\, but participants will be responsible for their own travel costs.</p>
