CALL FOR PAPERS
Hellenic Studies Graduate Day
Abstract Deadline: April 10, 2009
We are happy to invite you to our first Hellenic Studies Graduate Student Day, organized under the auspices of the CEU Center for Hellenic Traditions. The theme of this year’s meeting will be:
Bridges and Boundaries: Revisiting the Byzantine Inheritance.
We intend to investigate a wide range of aspects regarding the transmission and transformation of Hellenic traditions in the Greek-speaking world and beyond. Special attention will be offered to the circulation of ideas as well as the continuous exchange of cultural and material practices with the neighboring regions. For this reason, a wide chronological span is envisaged, from the Late Antiquity until the immediate period after the Fall of Constantinople.
We invite speakers to submit papers in all areas of Late-Antiquity and Byzantine studies.
Keynote speakers will be Dr. Ruth Macrides (University of Birmingham) and Dr. Petre Guran (South-Eastern European Research Institute of the Romanian Academy).
Presentations will be fifteen to twenty minutes in length. Travel grants and accommodation in Budapest are offered. Abstracts of around 300 words should be sent by email to Cristian-Nicolae Daniel (cht@ceu.hu) and Florin Leonte (mphlef01@phd.ceu.hu) members of the Organizing Committee.

CEU-Hungarian Academy of Sciences
Detailed programme here
The course will concentrate on the relationship of philosophy and scientific thought in the Greco-Roman world, from the Presocratics through the Hellenistic age up to the close of classical antiquity. We would like to investigate how mathematics, natural sciences, astronomy, and medicine influenced philosophy, and on the other hand, how philosophy and its methods and techniques framed science and scientific knowledge. Our intention is that the course should address basic questions of interrelatedness, and should show how questions asked and methods used either in science or in philosophy fertilized other areas of intellectual activity. The focus will be on questions concerning the structure of knowledge, methodology, second order theories, argumentativity, demonstrational techniques, and polemics.
