Anna Marmodoro: What’s Ancient about Ancient Philosophy
from zur debatte · host Katholische Akademie in Bayern
Die Philosophin Anna Marmodoro lud am 25.2.2025 im Rahmen des Philosophischen Meisterkurses, der bereits zum neunten Mal in Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Katholischen Akademie in Bayern und der Münchner Hochschule für Philosophie angeboten wurde, zu einem neuen Kennenlernen der Philosophie der Antike ein. „History of Philosophy: Just Say No!“ So expressed himself Gil Harman, at Princeton in the late 1980s. Do philosophers today still think the same? And for what reasons? In this talk, I engage with the multifaced debate on the topic that continues today, examining positions and arguments. I conclude with a positive proposal for why studying and researching ancient philosophy today can make us better philosophers if our concerns are with today’s world, but also better scholars if our interests lie with historical ideas. „History of Philosophy: Yes, please!“ (Anna Marmodoro)
