The Ancient Philosophy Research Group at NTNU provides a forum for the reading and discussion of ancient texts, as well as a network of support for the development of new work on or inspired by ancient ideas.

We are a group of philosophers in Trondheim, Ålesund, and Bergen, always interested in strengthening our numbers, also from NTNU's student body.

We are particularly interested in the Greco-Roman tradition, from early Greek philosophy through Plato and Aristotle to Hellenistic philosophy, on topics from ethics, political philosophy, and moral psychology to cognitive theory, epistemology, and ontology. Our fortnightly meetings provide the basis for rich philosophical discussion and productive scholarly work.
