THE SOUTH AFRICAN SOCIETY FOR GREEK PHILOSOPHY AND THE HUMANITIES
In cooperation with other academic and cultural institutionsand organizations have decided to organize the:
29th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF PHILOSOPHY
on the topic:
- GREEK MORAL AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
- (FROM PRE-SOCRATICS TO NEOPLATONISM).
The Conference will be held at the town of Rhodes (on the island of Rhodes, a famous
Greek island in the South East Aegean) from 7-12 July 2017. The main Conference venue is the
Mediterranean Hotel Conference Hall (35-37 Kos Street, 85100 Rhodes, Greece, telephone: +30
2241024661. Email Address: info@mediterranean.gr) which is located next to the splendid ELLI
beach in the North East part of the town of Rhodes.
All papers dealing with ethics and politics of Greek Philosophy will be considered for inclusion in the
Conference Program. As usual, our present Conference aims to bring together two main areas of research and investigation: The Hellenic and Roman philosophical heritage and the modern philosophical trends that grapple with the relevant problems of our age. Special attention will be given to papers in moral and political philosophy which investigate, among other things, the relationship of the philosopher’s views in the relation to the way of life.
In addition, taking in to consideration the relation of Rhodes to Hellenistic Philosophy of Greek and
Roman period (Panaetius, Poseidonius, Cicero. Seneca, Lucretius, Mousonius etc), the Organizing Committee decided to accept papers dealing with all topics of the Hellenistic Philosophy (logic, ontology, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics etc)
Ι. Greek ethical and political views of Pre-Socratics
II. Moral and political philosophy of Plato
III. Moral and political philosophy of Aristotle
IV. Greek philosophy of Hellenistic and Roman age
(moral and political philosophy, logic, ontology, metaphysics, epistemology etc)
V. Moral and political philosophy of Neo-Platonists

Participants who wish to be considered for Category a should express their interest promptly and state their preferences concerning the topic they wish to deal with, and send all the necessary information (a detailed Curriculum Vitae and a substantive Abstract of their Paper) to the Organizing Committee by 30th of April 2017 or earlier. Persons interested in being considered for designation as Invited Speakers should fill in and send out Form Νo 1A to the Organizing Committee (Secretariat@iagp.gr)
c. The Organizing Committee will cover the cost of board and accommodation for Invited Speakers during the days of the Conference. In addition, Invited Speakers may attend all Conference activities (i.e., Conference Gala Dinner or Conference Beach Party or Greek Evening, and Conference Excursion) without paying any fees (this of course does not apply to the persons accompanying them). However Invited Speakers should complete all the relevant forms and send them to the Secretary of IAGP. Invited Speakers are required to submit the final version of the paper, according to the standard Academic practice, rules and procedures, prior to Conference (i.e.by 30/6/2017). Ιn case of lack of the submission of the final paper, their expenses would not be covered by the Organizing Committee.

III. The official languages at the Conference will be Greek, English,(French and German). However, due to the prohibitively high cost of simultaneous translation, only the first two of these languages will be simultaneously translated.
The Papers should be submitted in one of the official languages: Greek, English, French or German. Papers written in Greek should be accompanied by a proper translation into another language, preferably English. More extended texts of Papers (15-20 pages or 6000-7000 words) from all categories (a, b, c d, and e) may be published.
Texts in their final version for presentation may be sent by e-mail as Word documents and in PDF format as well.

IV. The Organizing Committee and the Academic Committee of ICOGPC reserve the right to accept or reject papers that do not comply with the academic standards of the Conference. (Conference participants are reminded that only texts written in acceptable English or Greek will be considered for publication. If you have any doubt about the quality of your text in this regard, and in particular if you are not a native speaker of the language in which your paper was given, please be sure that it has been scrutinized by a native speaker (of PhD educational level or higher) of that language before sending it in).
Greeks who present Papers are kindly asked to submit an acceptable English translation of the latest version of their Papers which will be read at the Conference. This should be submitted to the Conference Secretary before the opening of the Conference ( by 15th June 2017)
