Philosophical Reflections on Aristotle's Historia Animalium - Conference

Conference on Aristotle's Historia Animalium
23-25 August 2022
Faculty of Classics, University of Cambridge (in person and online)

Faculty of Classics, University of Cambridge

Aristotle's Historia Animalium is perhaps one of his most intriguing and least explored works, particularly in the area of philosophy. The longest in the Corpus, the treatise collects data relevant to the phenomena of embodied sentient life, setting out an extensive array of differences in animals’ parts (moria), activities (praxeis), ways of life (bioi) and characters (êthê). This conference brings together a group of international scholars of Aristotle's biology and philosophy in order to discuss the many topics explored in the treatise, including: organism and environment, ecology, physiology, perception, voice, emotions, intelligence, human-animal relations, ethology, and gender and sex differences. As the first conference to be concerned solely with the Historia Animalium in the context of science and philosophy, this event will result in an edited volume on the work.The conference will be held at the Faculty of Classics, University of Cambridge, from the 23rd to 25th of August. Attendance is free, but registration is required via this page. The event will be hybrid, allowing for both in-person attendance as well as online participation; please select the relevant ticket type at checkout.
