“I am very enthusiastic in meeting people who have an interest in the history of ideas and sharing thoughts concerning the significance of ancient philosophical ideas in particular both for the ancient world and the history of western civilization. I am interested in the way the ancient Greeks understood the natural world around us as well as our place in nature as human beings. That’ s because I believe that central questions human existence such as friendship, love and death are closely related with the way human beings understood their position inside the natural world.”
