Einstein Center Chronoi 

Otto-von-Simson-Straße 7, 14195 Berlin

Prof. Dr. Oliver Primavesi

Our Picture of the Early Greek thinker Empedocles (c. 484 - c. 424 BCE) has been enhanced by several textual discoveries during the last 25 years. Among these newly discovered texts are scholia (= marginal notes) in a Florentine Aristotle manuscript that have brought to light the TIME TABLE of Empedocles' Cosmic Cycle. Primavesi will present an interpretation of this time table in terms of the Pythagorean Philosophy of number.
