Invite you to join them in Leeds at the Inter-Disciplinary Ethics Applied  (IDEA) Centre next Thursday, 21 March, for a full day of ancient philosophy fun.   Directions to IDEA at: http://bit.ly/Z6vm6Q

We begin the morning with our reading group, in Greek and English.  Then the afternoon has papers by Suzanne Stern-Gillet, Rocky Webb, and Malcolm Heath (please see provisional schedule below).

There is no charge for the day, and turning up on the day is ok, but it would be helpful to have an indication by email of intentions to attend, especially if you would like to attend the dinner*.  Please email Jamie Dow: j.dow@leeds.ac.uk

We hope to see you there - 

Amber Carpenter (York) and Jamie Dow (Leeds)
