IAPS welcomes presentations on philosophical, philological, textual, doxographical, scientific, historical, literary and religious topics having to do with the Presocratics, on connections between Presocratic thought and other figures (e.g., the Sophists) and other areas of intellectual activity (e.g., mathematics, medicine or music), and on the reception of Presocratic thought in antiquity and later times.IAPS welcomes participation from scholars at all stages of their careers, from graduate students to senior figures in the field.To receive further information about the conference, please send a message with the title “IAPS 6” to Prof. Richard McKirahanInformation about the venue can be found (in Greek) at &#60;www.eccd.gr&#62; and (in English) at &#60;www.eccd.gr/en&#62;.
