Honoring the richness of Anglophone and European philosophical traditions, the Ancient Philosophy Society encourages submissions from a variety of interpretive perspectives. Phenomenological, postmodern, Anglo-American, Straussian, Tübingen School, hermeneutic, comparative, reception studies, philological, psychoanalytic, queer, decolonial, feminist, philosophy of race, and other interpretations of ancient Greek and Roman philosophical and literary works are welcome. The theme of the 2026 conference is Hospitality or Xenia, in honor of the 30th anniversary of Jacques Derrida and Anne Dufourmantelle’s Of Hospitality. In keeping with this theme, the conference especially welcomes comparative and interdisciplinary submissions. We also invite submissions in any area of Greek and Roman thought, and especially on less canonical figures and movements.
