Athens to honor China-Greece ancient innovations

Image
Herakleidon museum warmed up for an upcoming exhibition of ancient Chinese technology, by this week unveiling: The “Voyage: Greek shipbuilding and seafaring” in Athens. “Seafaring has formed the Greeks’ character. The spirit of Ulysses still exists in Greeks today. Shipping was and still remains their basic activity. The sea and shipping in particular offer Greeks wealth, vision and a future,” said Eleni Nomikou, the museum’s director. “Greek ships did not carry only products, but also knowledge and culture throughout our history. Thanks to these vessels Greeks travelled the world, enriched their knowledge and used it to create on this land and give birth to the Greek civilization.” A total of 35 handmade wooden models of vessels, complemented with works of art, maps, drawings and video projections narrate the history of Greek seafaring from prehistoric times to the middle of the 20th century. The model of a vessel of the Minoan civilization which flourished from ...

Beijing Forbidden City Museum Chief Wants Parthenon Marbles to be Returned

Image
The return of the Parthenon Marbles from the British Museum so they might be displayed in their original location “would be the best choice,” the director of the Palace Museum in Beijing’s Forbidden City, Dr. Shan Jixiang, said in an interview with the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA) General Director Michalis Psilos on Saturday. “All nations with ancient civilizations share the same desire: that scattered cultural heritage should return home,” Dr. Shan said. “The best choice, when an object has been preserved, is that it should appear in its original location. Its initial origins are the best home. I think that China, Greece and other countries with ancient civilizations must unite and join hands for the return of objects that have been taken from our countries,” he added. Dr. Shan said that he had visited Greece many times and observed Greek cultural affairs with great interest, including matters relating to the protection of cultural heritage and museum manageme...

ΗΜΕΡΕΣ ΦΙΛΟΣΟΦΙΑΣ

Image
Σωκράτης, Πλάτων, Αριστοτέλης… Τι επιρροές δέχθηκαν; Πού συναντούν ο ένας τον άλλον; Πού διαφοροποιούνται; Η διαδοχή της σκέψης στον πιο σημαντικό αιώνα της παγκόσμιας φιλοσοφίας. Σε αυτόν τον κύκλο, θα φιλοσοφήσουμε με τους κλασικούς μας Φιλοσόφους: θα θέσουμε συγκεκριμένα ερωτήματα, θα προβληματιστούμε και θα αναζητήσουμε απαντήσεις. Σε τρεις συναντήσεις, θα εξετάσουμε συνδυαστικά τη φιλοσοφία τους σχετικά με την ευτυχία, την ηθική, τη γνώση, την ψυχή, το θεό. Μια εβδομάδα πριν από κάθε συνεδρίαση και με σκοπό την καλύτερη προετοιμασία όσων το επιθυμούν, θα αποστέλλεται ηλεκτρονικά στους συμμετέχοντες το σχετικό υλικό (κυρίως, αποσπάσματα των φιλοσοφικών έργων και τα αντίστοιχα ερωτήματα). ΗΘΙΚΗ – 23 Νοεμβρίου 2016 Ποια είναι η ουσία της ηθικής; Τι είναι η ευτυχία; Μπορούμε να τη βρούμε; Eάν ναι, πώς; Τι είναι η αρετή; Μπορεί να διδαχθεί; Τι είναι ο Πλατωνικός Έρως; Πώς πρέπει να ζούμε; ΓΝΩΣΙΟΛΟΓΙΑ – 30 Νοεμβρίου 2016 Τι είναι η γνώση; Από πού πηγάζει; Τι είναι αλ...
