Timaeus讀書會(22 Nov 2013)

Post date: Jan 15, 2014 1:28:58 PM

At the end of October, some members of our group participated the Greek philosophy panel in the Taiwan Philosophy Association Conference. Thus we did not meet in October.

The date of the next meeting of Timaeus reading group will be on 22 Nov, Friday

morning, at the library of Philosophy Department, Soochow University (東吳大學外

雙溪校區, 第二教研大樓8樓), from 10.00 to 12.00.

Now we are going to read from 40d in Plato's Timaeus. Last time we have already

entered the passage on the generation of Time. The next passage may cause some

problem about Plato's attitude towards myth and gods. Then we will see how

living things come to be, and the problematic "Soul of the Universe." Usually,

every time, we would not go beyond than five Stephanus pages.

Anyone who feels interested, please come. Everyone is welcome.
