We are delighted to announce the third round of online seminars of the
project ΦΥΣΙΣ και ΦΥΤΑ / Phusis kai phuta, aimed at
gathering and sharing ongoing research on nature and plants in ancient Greece,
mainly focusing on the archaic and classical eras.
The first session will take place on Friday, November 27 at 4pm (CET).
Arnaud Macé (Université de Franche-Comté, laboratoire “Logiques de
l’agir”) will present on:
“Anaximander, the bark of the tree
and the growth of the
universe.”
Abstract
In this presentation I will try to show that Anaximander found
in plants and trees the inspiration for a very specific use of analogies:
analogies of process rather than of structure or form. The transfer of process
from tree growth and from the breaking off of the bark to the cosmogonical stage
of the universe or to the embryology of primal living beings does not entail
identity of structures, but only of operation. By doing so Anaximander explores
a heuristical use of analogy, that later science and medicine will take over.
The seminar will take place on Zoom. Everyone is welcome to attend, free
registration is required. Please email the organisers HERE.
We will
be happy to share the seminar link with you.
The full program of the seminar will be circulated soon. For more
information on our activities, or for a description of the “Phusis kai
phuta” project, please visit our website.
Do not hesitate to email us for any additional information.
Kind regards,
Alessandro Buccheri (Harvard/Paris)
Arnaud Macé (Besançon)
