The Department of Classics at Würzburg University invites graduate students and advanced undergraduates in Classics, Ancient Philosophy and related disciplines to participate in a conference and seminar course on „Implicit Discussion“ in ancient philosophical texts.
The conference consists of lectures and seminars on ancient philosophers engaging in discussions without naming their opponents and on digital editing. The conference is organized in lectures on general topics and related seminars on specific texts and problems. The workshops comprise introductions into papyrology and paleography and exercises in editing papyri.
Courses are taught by Gerard Boter, Giuseppe Celano, Tiziano Dorandi, Michael Erler, Holger Essler, Solmeng-Jonas Hirschi, Emidio Spinelli and Nigel Wilson.
