Notre Dame Winter School on Aristotle’s Ethics (August 5-7). Confirmed speakers at these events include Roger Crisp (Oxford), Margaret Hampson (St. Andrews), Sukaina Hirji (Penn), Marta Jimenez (Emory), Rachana Kamtekar (Cornell), and Rachel Singpurwalla (Maryland).
(More information about AristotleFest2024 will be sent out later in the year.) </span><span style="color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
