Some themes of the Symposium:
- The emergence of notions of physics in Ancient Philosophy
- The concept of physical laws in Philosophy of Nature during the Antiquity and Middle Ages
- Questions on the heritage of Greek Philosophy of Nature during Middle Ages and Renaissance.
- The mathematization of Natural Philosophy and the emergence of classical physics.
Other themes will be proposed by the International Scientific Committee.
The International Symposium ”Notions of Physics in Natural Philosophy• will
be held during the three last days of the 3rd Hellenic Conference ”History
Philosophy and Science Teaching•, i.e. from Friday 23 to Sunday 25 September
2005. Our scope (in programming these two events together) is to bring a
large public of Greek Physicists to the International Symposium in order
make known to them some of the historiography pro blems of their
science. Indeed, the two last Hellenic Conferences on History Philosophy
and Science Teaching have gathered more than 150 participants from all over
Greece.
The venue of the Conference and the Symposium is the National Hellenic
Research Foundation at the center of Athens.
Accommodation for invited speakers will be provided by the LOC.
