CFP: Definition and Essence in Aristotle and the Aristotelian Tradition

Topics will include not only the role played by definition in the accounts of knowledge developed by Aristotle and those building on, or responding to, his work, but also the definitions of various kinds proposed by Aristotle and his ancient and medieval followers.

This Conference is intended to provide a formal occasion and central location for philosophers and scholars of the Midwest region (and elsewhere) to present and discuss their current work on Aristotle and his interpreters in ancient and medieval philosophy.

PRESENTERS: Established Scholars: send a title and tentative abstract; Graduate Students: send a title, abstract and a supporting letter from your faculty advisor or dissertation director. Send applications to: [email protected]
