NEH Summer Institute: Aristotle's Psychology and Contemporary Philosophy

This Summer Institute will investigate the rich possibilities that arise from bringing contemporary philosophical concerns and Aristotle’s psychological writings into dialogue – specifically, the De Anima, the Parva Naturalia, and the De Motu Animalium.

Over the course of the Institute’s two weeks, participants will learn from respected figures in Greek philosophy how ideas and arguments from these writings can fruitfully engage with contemporary philosophical discussions. Through seminars and online resources, the Institute will show participants how historical and contemporary philosophical texts can be profitably combined and enhance both research and teaching opportunities for participants.

All participants of the summer institute will receive a $2,200 stipend to help defray the costs of participation (related to travel, accommodation and meals in College Station).
