Summer University Program, July 7 - 18, 2003
Central European University, Budapest, Hungary
The program will concentrate on the relationship of philosophy and scientific thought in the Greco-Roman world, from the Pre-Socratics through the Hellenistic age up to the close of classical antiquity, with special emphasis on how mathematics, natural sciences, astronomy, and medicine influenced philosophy, and on the other hand, how philosophy and its methods and techniques framed science and scientific knowledge.
Courses will be offered by Katerina Ierodiakonou (Athens/Oxford), André Laks (Lille), Henry Mendell (Los Angeles), Reviel Netz (Stanford), David Sedley, (Cambridge) and Leonid Zhmud (St Petersburg).
Prospective participants (at the graduate student or the junior faculty level) should register at the Summer University web page <www.ceu.hu/sun/sunindx.html> or contact the course directors Gabor Betegh <BeteghG@ceu.hu> or Istvan Bodnar <BodnarI@ceu.hu>
