Yorkshire Ancient Philosophy Network (CHiPhi)

As of the spring 2010, we are the Yorkshire Ancient Philosophy Network – a research group of the Centre for the History of Philosophy. We’ll use our existing shorter name with “(CHiPhi)” added on the end in most correspondence. The CHiPhi homepage is http://www.chiphi.eu/

The Yorkshire Ancient Philosophy Network was formed in Spring/Summer 2009, with its first meeting on October 30th. Its purpose is to support the research activity of those university staff and postgraduates working on Ancient Philosophy within Yorkshire who wish to participate.

We will meet once a term (three times a year) for a day each time. The morning will be a reading group (in English) of an ancient philosophical text. The afternoon will consist of the presentation and discussion of two papers, usually by those involved in the network rather than external speakers.

Meetings are open to all, will be fairly informal in character, and will (probably) rotate between Hull, Leeds and York.

The current arrangements are provisional, and will probably be adjusted as we proceed. We hope to attract the involvement of academics and postgraduates from Universities around Yorkshire, and perhaps further afield.
