The aim of the group is to promote research in ancient philosophy.

The ancient philosophy group wishes to be joined by master's students, PhD candidates, teaching assistants and members of the academic staff who intend to work on the period from Thales to Augustine. The group as such has no special preferences concerning philosophical approaches.

The current research project of the group is Poetry & Philosophy.

The group is headed by Professor Vigdis Songe-Møller, vigdis.songe-moller@fof.uib.no.
