Dear all, The next Women in Philosophy talk is on Monday 20th February, 12-1pm, in room G.21 of the Faculty of Classics. Everyone is welcome, tea and coffee will be available from 11:45.
Dr Myrto Hatzimichali - "The Linguistic Interpretation of Aristotle's Categories" Among Aristotle’s works, the Categories was the most studied and commented on from the first century BC to Late Antiquity. Many of the controversies linked to this text arise from the fact that its commentators could not agree on what it was actually about. What did Aristotle divide into ten categories: words, things, or both, including the concepts that link them? This paper will focus on the view of those who took it to be about words (Stoics expecting to find a grammatical theory of parts of speech), and will analyse the responses to this view as found in later commentators, with particular attention to the use of grammatical theory even as part of denying any grammatical relevance for the Categories. After the talk we will have lunch at the Granta with the speaker. If you would like to join us, please email Caterina ([email protected]) by Sunday 19th. We are looking forward to seeing you all there! Best wishes, Cate, Elina, Jess and Laura _____________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CamPhilEvents mailing list, or change your membership options, please visit the list information page: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEvents List archive: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEventsArchive Please note that CamPhilEvents doesn't accept email attachments.
