Présentation

The start of this century has seen a greater interest in the contemporary application of ancient philosophical ethics, although the widespread emphasis on Stoicism and the possibility of understanding Stoic ethics in isolation from the rest of Stoic philosophy remain controversial. Our century has also seen increasing anxiety about, and a conscious desire to strive for, standards in politics and public discourse, particularly in areas where the ethical and the cognitive intersect (integrity, honesty, fairness, grounds for belief). Our workshop will bring together experts on ancient philosophy, from a range of areas, to discuss how ancient ethics can inform our responses to 21^st-century challenges.
