Proceedings of the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy
Volume XXXIX (2024)
Series:
The 39th volume of published proceedings of the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy contains five papers and commentaries presented during academic year 2023â24. Topics: Aristotleâs reversal of the argument between Cebes and Socrates in Platoâs Phaedo on the immortality of the human soul; the argument and action of Platoâs Protagoras and the emergence of Socrates as philosopher; Socratesâ education from Diotima in Platoâs Symposium; the apparent absence in Aristotle of the modern understanding of the human subject; a new interpretation of the material influences on daemons according to Iamblichus. The commentators subject each paper to critical review, and they support, challenge, or reject what they find.
Gary M. Gurtler, S.J., is Professor of Philosophy at Boston College. He has published on ancient philosophy, including three books, most recently From the Alien to the Alone: A Study of Soul in Plotinus (2022) as well as articles and reviews in various scholarly journals.
Daniel P. Maher, PhD (1997, Boston College) is Professor of Philosophy at Assumption University. He has published on ancient philosophy and other topics in journals such as Review of Metaphysics, Logos, Interpretation, Hermathena, Society, and Proceedings of the ACPA.
