  Rencontres d'histoire et de philosophie des sciences

  The seminar Rencontres d’histoire et philosophie des sciences aims to promote a history and philosophy of science in which, in the words of Aldo Mieli (1935), “the unity of scientific thought” is “brought to the forefront, in relation to the multifaceted developments of particular sciences”. In order to do this, it seems imperative to us to involve all those who have an interest in the history and philosophy of science in its most diverse expressions in order to consolidate a community which, to exist, must regain its collegiality.

  Denunciation or dissimulation? Medical error in Antiquity and the Middle Ages

  Greece, Rome, Egypt, Near-East

  Mediator, Depakine, Thalidomides, contaminated blood, breast implants... health scandals over the past fifty years have regularly focused general attention on the problem of medical risk. They have raised many questions, abundantly relayed by the different media, showing us how crucial and complex the question of medical error is: where did the error come from? But before becoming a scandal, medical error has also been an inherent risk in the practice of medicine, since its very beginning. A mistake in diagnosis, prognosis or therapy, no matter how small, can have disastrous consequences for the doctor and the patient if not detected and corrected. Far from the huge media coverage of current health scandals, what is the status of medical error in ancient medicines and what are its issues?

  Treatment - from the physical notion to its metaphorical representations in Greco-Roman Antiquity

  Lors de cette journée d’étude, nous étudierons la notion de traitement en nous concentrant sur le monde gréco-romain, de l’époque classique (V^e siècle avant J.-C.) jusqu’à l’antiquité tardive (jusqu’au VI^e siècle après J.-C.), afin d’analyser les divers types de traitements et leurs représentations et afin d’interpréter leur évolution au cours des siècles. Le traitement (en grec θεραπεύειν, ἰατρεύειν, ἰᾶσθαι ou en latin curare) est une notion assez large, c’est pourquoi nous souhaitons l’appréhender dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire.

  Causes and Connections. On Divination and other Inquiries into Nature and Humans

  International Colloquium in Honor of Professor Geoffrey E. R. Lloyd

  Dans le cadre du PRI « Pratiquer le comparatisme : terrains, textes, artefacts », ce colloque international réunit ethnologues, philologues et philosophes autour des travaux de Geoffrey Lloyd et de leur apport à la pratique du comparatisme. En prenant appui notamment sur son ouvrage Cognitive Variations (2007), nous souhaitons interroger le problème de la coexistence de causalités autour d’un même événement, en mettant en perspective des pratiques rituelles saisies en contexte divinatoire et des savoirs prédictifs constitués en corpus de connaissances.
