[SydPhil] Reading Group on Aristotle's Politics

[David Bronstein]

Reading Group on Aristotle’s Politics



The Centre for the History of Philosophy (CHOP) at the University of Notre Dame Australia, in partnership with the Discipline of Philosophy at the University of Sydney, is excited to be hosting the second annual CHOP Greek Philosophy Reading Group. This year’s text is Aristotle’s Politics.



The group will meet on one Thursday per month, from March to October, from 1-3pm (Sydney time), on UNDA Sydney’s Broadway campus and online. For those attending in person, a catered lunch will be provided. The meeting and reading schedule is below.



All participants are welcome, including undergraduates, HDR students, postdocs,  faculty, and members of the public. Participants are welcome to attend as many sessions as they like and do not need to commit to attending for the whole year.



The reading group will involve close study and discussion of the primary text. No prior knowledge of Aristotle or Ancient Greek philosophy is required. We will read the text in English translation, so no knowledge of Ancient Greek is required either.



The reading group will be co-led by A/Prof David Bronstein (UNDA) and Dr Emily Hulme (USyd). The reading group is taking place in connection with David Bronstein’s ARC Future Fellowship project ‘Virtue with Aristotle: Recovering an Ancient Ethical Theory for Our Time’.



If you plan to attend, please email david.bronstein at nd.edu.au<mailto:david.bronstein at nd.edu.au>, indicating whether you would like to attend in person or online (for catering purposes).



Please direct any questions to david.bronstein at nd.edu.au<mailto:david.bronstein at nd.edu.au>.
