Conference Announcement Theme: Heterodoxy and Tradition Subtitle: Conflict and Dialogue in Ancient Pagan and Christian Philosophy Type: International Conference Institution: Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg Location: Freiburg/Br. (Germany) Date: 16.–18.4.2015 __________________________________________________ How did ancient thinkers deal with diverging opinions and teachings, both within and outside of their philosophical schools? How did engaging with what one might call ‘heterodoxy’ shape philosophical, religious and cultural traditions? To what extent did ancient philosophers themselves think in terms of ‘orthodoxy’ and ‘heterodoxy’? By what mechanisms did thinkers distinguish, privilege, or exclude particular views? What were the social and political implications of these theoretical processes? This conference aims to debate these questions with reference to philosophical developments from the 1st century BC through the 6th century AD. Both pagan and Christian philosophical traditions will be discussed, with particular attention to the interaction between them.
