GRK 1939: Philosophy, Science and the Sciences: The Dialogue among Different Forms and Models of Knowledge in Ancient Greek, Roman and Arabic Thought

这个研究培训小组的重点是古希腊、罗马和阿拉伯哲学和科学中不同形式和模式的知识之间的对话。特别关注哲学与专门科学的接口，既包括古代思想家对哲学与专门科学接口的明确看法，也包括他们处理哲学与专门科学接口的实际实践。我们认为，整合这些维度是该计划的创新力量：既是对哲学与科学关系的理论思考，也是实际的科学和哲学实践；既是从哲学的角度，也是从特殊科学的角度：既从古代思想家的角度，也从当代哲学的角度。我们的跨学科计划的更重要的创新是：覆盖整个古代哲学和科学，包括强调后来的古董思想，包括普洛蒂诺，以及从Simplicius和Philoponus的整个古希腊和早期基督教传统；纳入后来的阿拉伯传统；以及与中世纪、文艺复兴和当代哲学的联系。该项目汇集了哲学家、古典学家、阿拉伯学者和科学史学家。资格认证项目旨在将博士生培养成成熟的初级研究人员，旨在为博士生毕业后的下一步做好早期和密集的准备。课程以研究研讨会和博士座谈为基础。我们在一个繁荣和支持的社区的背景下为研究生提供密集的建议。该项目具有很强的国际性。大多数博士生都在国外的大学呆过一段时间，许多人都有外部导师。该项目每学期都会吸引杰出的国际学者来到柏林。我们的学生受益于柏林独特的古代研究资源(如TOPOI和柏林古代学研究生院)。我们有帮助我们的学生完成博士学位并将他们安置在优秀岗位上的可靠记录。

This Research Training Group focuses on the dialogue between different forms and models of knowledge in ancient Greek, Roman and Arabic philosophy and science. Special attention is given to the interface between philosophy and the special sciences, including both the explicit views of ancient thinkers about it and also their actual practice of dealing with the interface between philosophy and the special sciences. We consider it an innovative strength of the program to integrate these dimensions: both the theoretical reflection on the relationship of philosophy and science and actual scientific and philosophical practice; both from the perspective of philosophy and from the perspective of special sciences: both from the perspective of ancient thinkers and from the perspective of contemporary philosophy.Further important innovations of our interdisciplinary program are: coverage of the whole of ancient philosophy and science including an emphasis on later antique thought, including Plotinus and also the entire ancient Greek and early Christian tradition down to Simplicius and Philoponus; inclusion of the subsequent Arabic tradition; and connections with medieval, Renaissance and contemporary philosophy. The program brings together philosophers, classicists, Arabists and historians of science.The Qualification Program aims at developing doctoral candidates into full-fledged junior researchers and is designed to prepare candidates early and intensively for their next steps after the doctorate. The curriculum is based on research seminars, and doctoral colloquia. We provide intensive advising of graduate students within the context of a flourishing and supportive community. The program is strongly international. Most doctoral students spend time at a university abroad and many have an external advisor. The program brings distinguished international scholars to Berlin every semester. Our students benefit from the unique resources for ancient studies in Berlin (such as Topoi and the Berlin Graduate School of Ancient Studies). We have a proven record of helping our students to complete their doctorates and placing them in excellent positions.
