From Toledo to Gotha: New Perspectives on the Impact of Avicenna upon Sciences and Philosophy in Europe (Louvain, 14-15 October 2022)
A joint event KULeuven, UCLouvain, and SOFIME, the conference will foster a general re-setting of the debate on the “Avicenna Latinus”, shedding light on some obscure aspects of his influence on European philosophy through an organic, longue-durée and inter-linguistic approach to his philosophical production. Avicenna’s role in the constitution of European philosophy and science will be examined by discussing a series of intertwined questions touching upon a plurality of domains and aspects, from the material production and circulation of the Latin translations of Avicenna’s works to the impact of the latter on philosophical doctrines and medical practices developed in Europe.
Keynote speakers: Brian Copenhaver (UCLA), Amos Bertolacci (Scuola IMT Alti Studi Lucca), Iolanda Ventura (University of Bologna)
With H. Amini, M. Beltrán, L. Burzelli, M. Cabré Duran, A. Gavrić, P. Hernández Rubio, J. Higuera Rubio, , M. J. Jaramillo, S. Kreeger, I. Lánczky, C. A. Lértora Mendoza, R. Ma, P. Mantas España, M. Martín Gómez, M. Novina, A. Passera, A. Rinotas, M. Signori, M. T. Shahed Tabatabaei, C. Teleanu
