Summary of the proposal: We invite researchers to contribute to the dossier ‘Philosophy and drama in Antiquity: the tragic, the comic and the philosophical,’ by submitting articles dedicated to investigating the many relationships between philosophy and drama in Antiquity, whether by proposing philosophical readings of ancient tragedies and comedies, or by considering the dialogues and reciprocal influences between authors and dramatic and philosophical texts, or by reflecting on the presence and relevance of dramatic resources (comic and tragic) in ancient philosophical texts and vice versa, that is, on the sophistical and philosophical resources used in ancient tragedies and comedies.

 

The journal O que nos faz pensar is rated Qualis A1 in the new CAPES classification.
