Reihe: Proceedings of the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy

The 39th volume of published proceedings of the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy contains five papers and commentaries presented during academic year 2023–24. Topics: Aristotle’s reversal of the argument between Cebes and Socrates in Plato’s Phaedo on the immortality of the human soul; the argument and action of Plato’s Protagoras and the emergence of Socrates as philosopher; Socrates’ education from Diotima in Plato’s 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.
