Knowledge, Belief, and Logos in Plato

Plato famously aligns knowledge with non-spatial objects, and belief with spatial objects. But why? In particular, what other Platonic commitments explain that one? This workshop will take those questions as central. Participants (detailed schedule and titles TBA): Katja Vogt (Columbia University) Carrie Swanson (University of Iowa) Whitney Schwab (University of Maryland, Baltimore County) Matt Evans (University of Michigan) Jonathan Beere (Humboldt Universitaet zu Berlin) Joseph Barnes (Humboldt Universität zu Berlin)
