- CALL FOR PAPERS
"The Value of Ancient Philosophy for the Contemporary World"
A Special Issue of PHILOSOPHY IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD
Special Issue Editor: Robert Metcalf, University of Colorado, Denver
Journal Editor: Andrew Fiala, California State University, Fresno
How may we retrieve the insights of Greek philosophy for the contemporary world? How have contemporary thinkers appropriated ancient philosophy, and what possibilities are left open for different appropriations? This special issue of the journal, Philosophy in the Contemporary World, will engage these sorts of questions, and will feature contributions from leading scholars in ancient philosophy. In accord with the aims of the journal, essays in response to this call for papers should be written for a wide audience of philosophers who are interested in the various ways that the history of philosophy can be brought to bear on contemporary issues. Essays on any figure/topic in ancient philosophy are welcome, so long as they are 3000-4000 words in length (not including endnotes). This special issue is scheduled for publication early in 2006.
Submission Deadline: NOVEMBER 15, 2005
Prepare submission for blind review and attach it as a Word document to an
email sent to robert.metcalf@cudenver.edu Include an abstract of 150 words
or less.
