Aristotelian zoology and its reception,
theories of animal soul and cognition,

A collected volume, to be edited by Peter Adamson and published in the de Gruyter series Philosophy in the Islamic World in Context, is planned on the topic of philosophy of animals in the Islamic world. Contributing a written piece to the volume is optional, however, and not a requirement for speaking at the event.
Those interested in speaking at the event should send a title and an abstract, between 150-300 words, to Peter Adamson: [email protected]. Please feel free to contact Prof Adamson with any questions you may have about the event. The deadline to submit abstracts is October 31, 2022.
