Call for Papers Theme: Interactions Type: 2nd International History of Philosophy Conference (PHILHIST '15) Institution: Eastern Mediterranean Academic Research Center (DAKAM) Location: Istanbul (Turkey) Date: 14.–16.5.2015 Deadline: 6.2.2015 __________________________________________________ DAKAM’s PHILHIST ’15 / II Philosophy Conference on 'Interactions' aims to a comparative re-reading of philosophical texts around the historical mechanisms of interaction and will take place at Nâzım Hikmet Cultural Center in Istanbul on May 14-16, 2015. Pierre Pellegrin, Kenneth Westphal from Boğaziçi University and Patrick Roney from Koç University are going to be keynote speakers of the event. Philosophy can be described as an interaction centre of infinite number of dynamics that progressed and differentiated by affecting each other throughout the history. Although the history of philosophy examines philosophers, texts and periods individually, it has also been the history of interactions, i.e. affecting and being affected. The historical, multifaceted identity of the philosophy was also shaped by the correlations between philosophy and other disciplines as well as among the philosophers, themselves. All types of interaction (interactions between different regions and lands, unexpected historical links, contact of individuals or even the concept of inter-textuality itself) can be defined as one of the central sources for the history of philosophy. On a heterogeneous basis full of conflict and complementation, every idea causes reaction and every idea transforms itself by transforming another one. A re-evaluation of history of philosophy seems to be exciting with an interdisciplinary point of view in both partial and large scales.
