Conference: Ethics in Antiquity: The Quest for the Good Life

The CAS research group Ethics in Antiquity: The Quest for the Good Life had a final Conference of the research project at the Norwegian Institute in Rome in June. This was entirely internal to the project group with the exception of Prof. Sarah Broadie (University of St. Andrews), who in fact had been a tentative member of the group. The following presented papers:

  • Sarah Broadie: Truth and story in Plato‘s Timaeus-Critias
