2014年四月底 在 慶應大學 日吉校區 舉行！
日吉校區畫瑰先前訪問慶應時待過，位於橫濱，有著路旁兩排銀杏樹，清新可喜～～
和東京市區內的舊校區搭捷運可到，而且捷運站就在guesthouse對面而已。
慶應是百年以上的私塾，希臘哲學的研究與教學都頗有水準。
Call for papers
International Symposium “Plato and Rhetoric”
organized by the JSPS Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Project
From the evening of 25 to 27 April 2014
The Hiyoshi Campus of Keio University, Japan
<http://www.keio.ac.jp/en/maps/hiyoshi.html>
Plato is usually thought to be hostile to rhetoric in contrast to philosophy.
However, we can observe that his dialogues are deeply embedded in the
rhetorical tradition: in particular, the Apology of Socrates (forensic) and
Menexenus (epitaphic). Speakers of the dialogues make much use of
rhetorical skills to persuade others. Even the Gorgias and Phaedrus, the two
main examinations of rhetoric, seem to propose the genuine art of rhetoric
(which may be dialectic). In this conference, we would like to re-examine the
notion and background of rhetoric in and around Plato’s dialogues.
We invite proposals for 30-minute papers (in English). Abstracts (about 300
words) should be sent to the organizers by the end of December 2013. A
selection will be made in early January. The organizing committee will
financially support the speakers for accommodation on the campus (up to 3
nights).
Please contact the organizer for further details.
