Workshop: Attention in Ancient Philosophy

Attention has become an increasingly important topic across several areas of philosophy, and recent work in ancient philosophy has shown how it can open up new methodological approaches, new ways of framing questions, and new interpretations of familiar texts and ideas.

This workshop brings together scholars working in this emerging area of research. This first edition—hopefully to be followed by others—focuses broadly on attention in relation to Aristotle’s practical philosophy. It will also feature a talk by a contemporary philosopher affiliated with the GoodAttention project.

A more detailed programme will be circulated at a later date.

The workshop will take place primarily in person, but online participation will also be possible. Those wishing to attend online are kindly asked to register using the form below. The Zoom link and further practical information will be sent to registered participants before the workshop: https://nettskjema.no/a/638091
