Periodical conferences on Plato and Platonism:

“Tübinger Platon-Tage”

The “Tübinger Platon-Tage”, newly founded in 2008, are intended to bring the long tradition of research on Plato in Tübingen to the attention of specialists at home and abroad and to stimulate it with new impulses from modern research.

The interdisciplinary and international “Tübinger Platon-Tage” are held every two years. The topics of the conferences focus, above all, on central themes of Plato's Dialogues, but also on the reception of Platonist philosophy in the Imperial Age, Late Antiquity, and the Renaissance.

Both well-known specialists and younger researchers from Germany and abroad are invited. In addition, PhD students and post docs from Tübingen are given the opportunity to present their results on Plato and Platonism to a wider audience. A special “student lecture” was introduced in 2010: Here, a student of Classics or Ancient Philosophy gets the opportunity to give a paper for the first time before an audience of specialists.

The students of the University of Tübingen are expressly invited to participate in all lectures and discussions!
