VI International Delphos Symposium 2024





The DELPHOS research group, in partnership with the Philosophy programme at Mackenzie University, invites researchers, students and teachers to take part in the 6th International Delphos Symposium. The general theme of Delphos’ Symposia is philosophy and religion in Ancient Greece and this year’s specific topic is fate (Εἵμαρμένη). The event will be held virtually on 3, 4 and 5 September 2024. The programme will be announced shortly.

This year the VI DELPHOS International Symposium will be held in conjunction with the XXI Mackenzie Philosophy Week (XXI Semana de Filosofia Mackenzie): 3, 4 and 5 September the Delphos Symposium will be celebrated while 6 September the presentations of the XXI Mackenzie Philosophy Week will take place. We invite the academic community to participate in both events.
  • Schedule VI Symposium 2024

    • On the proposed theme: Εἵμαρμένη / "Fate"

    The heimarmene (Εἵμαρμένη) of the Greeks, translated into Latin as fatum and into English as fate (although it might be more colloquial to call it destiny) represents one of the doctrinal elements in which religion meets philosophy.

    The study of the interweaving of the supposed causality of fate with that of other causes is a challenge for philosophical reason. Furthermore, this theme is related to a multitude of situations that frequently appear in Greek literature (and are inspired by it): the fate of individuals, divination, the human incapacity to resist misfortune, the relationship between men and the divine.
