Joint Graduate Program in Ancient Philosophy
The Joint Program is supervised by the Joint Program Committee:
Classics Faculty
- Michael White, Director
- Lesley Dean-Jones
- Michael Gagarin
Philosophy Faculty
- Jim Hankinson (Director, 1992-1996)
- Alex Mourelatos (Director, 1967-1992)

The Joint Graduate Program in Ancient Philosophy is supported by the Departments of Classics and Philosophy. Founded in 1967 to coordinate graduate study and research in ancient philosophy, it unites students and faculty in both Departments. Students are admitted through either Department and receive the Ph.D. in either Philosophy or Classics. The Joint Program sponsors an informal discussion group named the Euthyphrones, lectures and colloquia by visiting scholars, and an annual Workshop in Ancient Philosophy. It is also the current home of Apeiron, a journal for ancient philosophy and science.
The 32nd Annual Workshop in Ancient Philosophy was held in conjunction with the 5o Taller de Filosofia Antigua, both hosted by the Instituto de Investigaciones Filosóficas of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) in Mexico City, on March 4-6, 2009.
