In this workshop, we want to understand the continuities and discontinuities between the ancient disciplines of dialectic and logic. Does logic originate with dialectic or are they mutually distinct, more or less contemporaneous alternatives? Did ancient philosophers view dialectic and logic as one and the same project or rather as two closely related projects? Five talks will deal with questions regarding the interface between logic and dialectic in antiquity. Our keynote speaker is Prof. Dr. Marko Malink (New York University). No prior registration is required. For more information, please take a look into the program [see below].

The Research Training Group "Philosophy, Science and the Sciences" cooperates with the BerGSAS in the doctoral program Ancient Philosophy and History of Ancient Science (APhil/HistAS).
