Call for Papers for the Workshop:
Ancient Greeks Impact on Western Identity
The ancient Greek philosophical, scientific, political and cultural
achievements are held to be one important inheritance of the West. It was a
central aspect of Western identity to be distinguished from other cultures
by the fact that it has science, and science was meant to be a Greek
invention. Since the experience of post-colonialism and the increasing
knowledge of Babylonian and Egyptian scientific achievements, historians of
Western philosophy and culture became more aware of the certain
euro-centrism of this traditional view. These changes led to a discourse on
the relation between Greeks and Barbarians as well as on the Greeks and the
West, which is also a hidden discourse on Western identity. This modern
discourse, which has moved from a moderate ancient Greek ethnocentrism to
modern euro-centrism, is connected with the antiquity via two claims: 1. It
was in ancient Greece, where a cultural transformation of universal or at
least outstanding importance took place. 2. The West inherits this Greek
achievement due to a continuous tradition of these beginnings. Both claims
were challenged by several critics such as Karl Jaspers' concept of an axial
period or, more recently, Martin Bernals Black Athena.
In our workshop we are going to discuss these two claims by examining the
positions of its opponents as well as its defenders: Is the idea of a Greek
inheritance just a Narrative of Modernity? The panel is open to papers on
the relation between Greeks and Barbarians, on the impact of non-Greek
cultures on the so-called Greek transition from myth to reason, or on the
questions regarding the supposedly continuous tradition from the ancient
philosophy to modern Western science.
If you like to participate at this workshop, please send a one-page proposal
and a short CV (email preferred) until the 30. Jan. 2004 to:
