Conference, symposium - Prehistory and Antiquity

Writing, rewriting or quotation: the processes of composition of ancient medical texts

Les vastes sommes médicales antiques qui rassemblent et transmettent les savoirs de leur temps comportent de nombreux textes « parallèles », qui posent des questions intéressant tous les chercheurs de l'Antiquité : diversité des sources, place de la transmission orale, modes de réappropriation des textes, rôle et statut de l'auteur d'une encyclopédie. À l’heure où se multiplient encyclopédies en ligne et réflexions sur la propriété intellectuelle, le statut de l’auteur ou encore le plagiat, la réflexion sur les procédés de composition des ancêtres les plus lointains de Wikipédia permettra de s’interroger sur l’élaboration du savoir médical et les différents canaux de sa transmission.

Conference, symposium - Thought

Life and Mind. Aristotelian themes in contemporary philosophy

Despite the interest in exploring Aristotelian themes in contemporary philosophy, there has been no coordinated attempt to survey or integrate the ways in which Aristotle’s approach to understanding life, mind, and the relation between them might inform and enrich our own. The objective of this workshop is to explore the way in which Aristotelian thought can brought to bear on contemporary research on the much-debated issue of the so-called mind-body problem and on its implications for the conceptualization of notions such as that of organism, animal and human perception and action, human moral agency, and the relation between mind and life.
