WHO WE ARE

The New England Symposium on Ancient Philosophy is an organization for academics located in the New England states to present their work-in-progress on some topic in Ancient Greek and Roman philosophy.  Because the papers are distributed in advance, the meetings are devoted almost entirely to a lively discussion of the paper.


If you reside or work in New England and would like to join the Symposium, please contact us.  Though you must be a member of the Symposium to present a paper, we welcome all scholars working in the field, no matter where they work or reside, to attend our meetings by using the RSVP links below.

    Aristotle analogizes the generation of an animal to what happens in craft production: just as a builder uses a saw and a hammer as “tools” to build a house, so too the soul uses “tools” to build an animal. Emily identifies and attempts to resolve a puzzle about these tools.
