Among the company are the tragic playwright Agathon, Agathon鈥檚 lover Pausanias, the beautiful but doomed Phaedrus, the comic playwright Aristophanes, the doctor Eryximachus, and the (also perhaps doomed) philosopher Socrates. Diotima, a priestess from Mantinea, puts in a surprise appearance. Alcibiades, the glamor boy of Athens, makes a late, splashy, gate-crashy arrival. There are the usual snacks and drinks.

We will engage with recent work in social epistemology鈥攑hilosophical theories of belief and knowledge鈥攚ith an emphasis on feminist epistemologies, anti-racist epistemologies, and epistemologies of resistance.
