Phil Antiquities Group
MISSION: The Philosophical Antiquities Group represents a coalition of graduate students committed to reviving and discovering pluralistic approaches to the History of Philosophy (and so ‘Antiquities’). We are committed to promoting work that engages critically with philosophy's past, with works and thinkers traditionally classed as canonical and with the very idea of the canon itself. What is deemed canonical is an expression of the present's image of itself and critical engagement with the canon, we believe, can be a form of reflection on the present. As antiquarians, we are interested in the History of Philosophy broadly understood. We aim to promote scholarship that engages with enduring philosophical practices and precedents which originated in earlier times. Thus, we take the idea of a 'canon' loosely as the starting point for critical inquiry into what it means to ‘do’ ‘History of Philosophy’ as a sub-field within the discipline. We especially prize work that uncovers overlooked associations between philosophical writers and movements or recontextualizes their philosophy and its cultural impact.
