Professor Christopher Moore (Philosophy, Penn State) will be on campus to discuss his recent book Calling Philosophers Names: On the Origin of a Discipline (Princeton UP, 2019) on Friday, February 3rd, 11:00-1:00, location TBA.

This in-person event has an author-meets-readers format. We are circulating in advance two chapters: “Introduction: The Origins of Philosophia” and “What Philosophos Could Have Meant: A Lexical Account” (attached) to prepare for the conversation.

After an introduction by Prof. Dhananjay Jagannathan (CU Department of Philosophy), Prof. Moore will discuss his book, engage in dialogue with two respondents (Margaret Corn and Luke Lea, Classical Studies), and answer questions from attendees.

We look forward to seeing you there and to welcoming you to a short reception following the event.

If you are unable to attend in person but would like a zoom link, please contact Lauren Palmer (lp3011@columbia.edu).
