The workshop explores how ancient philosophers connect ethics to the science of living things. We aim to delve into the concept of excellence in Pre-Aristotelian philosophy and \;investigate the different levels on which a life can be well-lived and a being can be described as well-functioning\, ethically and physiologically.
\nThe conference is free and open to all. To register\, and for any questions\, please email \;caterina.pello@unige.ch.
