Special Focus 1: Subject, Identity and Diversity. The focus point of Subject, Identity and Diversity encompasses the whole history of philosophy from ancient Greek to the twenty-first-century philosophy, from eastern to western tradition. It also draws the attention of a wide range of commentators, such as continental and analytic philosophers, historians and pure theoretical interpreters and also gender philosophers. Special Focus 2: Interactions among Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy- On Interpretation of the Aristotelian Philosophy Aristotle is one the most influential philosophers in the Western tradition. Aristotle's works shaped centuries of philosophy from Late Antiquity through the Renaissance and his theories were serving as a stimulus to almost every area of philosophy. The Medieval and the Renaissance periods are considered to be the two significant historical periods in the evaluation and re-evaluation of the Aristotelian philosophy. Special Focus 3: Interactions in Modern Philosophy Philosophy can be described as an interaction centre of infinite number of dynamics that progressed and differentiated by affecting each other throughout the history. Although the history of philosophy examines philosophers, texts and periods individually, it has also been the history of interactions, i.e. affecting and being affected. The historical, multifaceted identity of the philosophy was also shaped by the correlations between philosophy and other disciplines as well as among the philosophers, themselves. http://www.dakamconferences.org/#!philhist-themes/dscbj VENUE Istanbul SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Prof. Kenneth R.
