Platonism and Neoplatonism Unit
The unit invites submissions for papers relating to the Platonic and Neoplatonic traditions generally, in both historical and constructive contexts. Papers on the topics of participation, deification, and nature are particularly encouraged.
This unit is committed to the ongoing study of Platonic traditions in connection with the history and philosophy of religions, from antiquity to the present. In this context we seek to feature the research of new and established scholars working in the field. We provide an avenue for the dissemination of new historical scholarship, as well as scholarship that draws upon the tradition as a resource to engage important contemporary questions. Many panelists publish their research through the many avenues that arise out of the unit’s collaborative endeavours.
