KU Leuven
Leuven Colloquia on Ancient Platonism (LCAP)
Description and organization
The Leuven Colloquia on Ancient Platonism (LCAP) is a lecture series on the history of ancient Platonism (from the Early Academy to Late Antiquity), traditionally an important field of study in Leuven. These lectures will be held on a monthly basis, starting in January 2022, hosted by the KU Leuven Institute of Philosophy and De Wulf-Mansion Centre for Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy and will be given by leading specialists in the history of Platonism. Each year the general theme will be narrowed down through the selection of a specific topic on which the invitees will be asked to speak. For the academic year 2021/2022 (second term only) and 2022/2023 the chosen topic is ‘principle’ (archê).
4-6 pm, Kardinaal Mercierzaal.
All sessions will be accessible also remotely. For both in-person and remote participation, registration on Zoom is necessary. We will send out individual announcements for each talk, with the relevant Zoom link for registration.
