The Graduate School of Ancient
Philosophy is a structured doctoral
program in ancient philosophy.
Students in the program write
dissertations, in German or English,
on ancient philosophy. Dissertations
may be more philosophical or more
philological in character.
They may focus on original Greek or
Roman sources or on later interpretation
and appropriation of ancient
views. The program involves
research courses, reading groups,
tutorial supervision, international
workshops, and intensive short
courses.
The School has a teaching staff of several full professors as well as many additional faculty and an advisory board consisting of internationally renowned experts from Europe and America. Each year up to eight doctoral students are accepted into the School.

All areas of research are welcomed and encouraged. The current faculty has particular interests in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, ancient theories of the soul (including moral psychology and action theory), logic, and
the history and philosophy of science and mathematics.
Current research projects deal with Plato and Aristotle, the Presocratics, Middle Platonism, Roman Stoicism, Neoplatonism, and Late Antiquity.
The Graduate School of Ancient Philosophy is on the main campus of Humboldt Universität in the central district of Berlin. Facilities include office space for faculty, doctoral students, and staff, as well as seminar rooms, a welcome and lounge area, and a service desk for students and guests. Doctoral students have separate workspace for the completion period of their theses and for meetings.
