Proclus – Expanding the Canon of Ancient Philosophy

This colloquium will bring together leading scholars and young researchers from all over the globe in celebration of the 1600th anniversary of the Neoplatonist Proclus (412-485 A.D.). They will gather in Amsterdam to establish an inventory of the status quo of Proclean studies today and to discuss possible lines of future research on the various aspects of Proclus’ thought. The colloquium will result in the publication of a comprehensive volume on Proclus’ philosophy, to be published with Oxford University Press.

The colloquium is sponsored and hosted by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and is co-funded by the C.J. de Vogel Foundation, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), the De Wulf - Mansion Centre for Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy and the K.U.Leuven Research Fund.
