Workshop and Call for Abstract: Plato on Change
by Jorge Bonet Gomez
*Workshop and Call for Abstract: Plato on Change *
Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI)
*September 15-17*, 2023
We invite abstracts for a workshop on Plato’s metaphysics of change *September
15-17, 2023*.
What is Plato’s account of change? Which kinds of change does he accept?
Are all changes ultimately spatial? Is any change relational? Do Forms
change? Why is change one of the greatest kinds? Is there an instant of
change? What could it mean that everything is change and nothing further?
Which lesson can be learnt from the puzzle of the dice? The workshop ‘Plato
on Change’ is a unique chance to discuss these and related questions on the
metaphysics of change in Plato’s dialogues, to present scientific results
on the topic in a friendly, stimulating, and international environment, and
to boost further research on the topic.
