What can philosophers tell us about the nature of space? You might think nothing. But the ideas of Greek philosophers might make you think again. Stephen Makin guides you through those ideas and considers whether pure thought can reveal something about the structure of space and time.
Stephen Makin is Reader in Ancient Philosophy at Sheffield. His published work includes a translation, with a detailed commentary, of Aristotle’s Metaphysics: Book Theta.
This is one of five Festival of the Mind philosophy events:
