DESCRIPTION:<p>Greek for Philosophers:</p>\n<p>6th Siracusa Summer Seminar on Plato's Phaedo: July 27-August 7\, 2026</p>\n<p>The seminar combines the best aspects of a philosophy conference and a classical language summer school. The focus will be Plato&rsquo\;s Phaedo\, which explores a variety of important themes including mind and body\, the theory of recollection\, the nature of aretē\, the theory of forms\, the immortality of the soul\, and a philosophical approach to death.</p>\n<p>Faculty include Dr. George Gazis\, Dr. Chiara Blanco\, Dr. Jurgen Gatt and Prof. Heather Reid. Guest lecturers are invited and participants are encouraged to give short papers on the Phaedo. Greek instruction is offered at three levels: beginners learn basic grammar\, intermediates (minimum one year of Greek) work on short textual passages with emphasis on grammar and syntax\, and the advanced group takes the form of a reading group. The groups come together for presentations\, lectures\, and workshops and discussion.</p>\n<p>Discounts are offered for returning participants and bursaries covering a week&rsquo\;s tuition will be offered to one student at each of the three levels. To apply\, students must submit the abstract for an eventual presentation before <strong>May 1</strong>. Other participants wishing to present a paper may submit an abstract for consideration up until July 1\, which is also the final deadline for registration.
