Programme
and Schedule:
Friday
evening, David Reeve will be speaking on "Socrates Erotikos" [Socrates
The Erotic].
We are tempted to say, as a consequence, that we encourage
you to contribute papers on either theme! Perhaps it will be enough to
assume that all papers will be aimed at beauty (or at the very least, truth
and goodness) and fueled by eros.
Saturday will be devoted to your offerings, and the day will conclude with
a symposium, or perhaps just the banquet part. So please send in your
titles
and abstracts (by e-mail) and no later than July 31st, so
that we can set up the schedule in the weeks to follow.
We urge you to register at your earliest convenience
