This interest has led to a \u201cbiological turn\u201d in Aristotelian studies, which has resulted in a reevaluation of his theory of science and in a substitution of the question of classification with that of definition. Today, there is high quality literature on the relation between the Metaphysics, the Analytics, and Aristotle\u2019s biological writings. The \u201cbiological turn\u201d in Aristotelian studies has also created a similar effect on works on his Politics: every change in the theory of animals has produced a change in the theory of political animals. Researches in this domain prove to be very productive and show rapid development. This is why we believe that this is a favorable time for devoting a conference to the Politics, and for discussing the effects of the \u201cbiological turn\u201d on the famous Aristotelian formula that \u201chuman being is a political animal by nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speakers:<br \/>\n\u04e6mer Orhan Ayg\u00fcn (Galatasaray University)<br \/>\nPinar Canevi (Bo\u011fazi\u00e7i University)<br \/>\nJohannes Fritsche (Bo\u011fazi\u00e7i University)<br \/>\nAnnick Jaulin (University of Paris I Panth\u00e9on Sorbonne)<br \/>\nManuel Knoll (Fatih University)<br \/>\nJean-Louis Labarri\u00e8re (CNRS Centre L\u00e9on Robin)<br \/>\nDavid Lefebvre (University of Paris Sorbonne \u2013 Centre L\u00e9on Robin)<br \/>\nPierre-Marie Morel (ENS Lyon)<br \/>\nPierre Pellegrin (CNRS)<\/p>\n<p>Organization and Scientific Responsibility:<\/p>\n<p>\u04e6mer Orhan Ayg\u00fcn (Galatasaray University), Refik G\u00fcremen (Lecturer at Galatasaray University), Annick Jaulin (University Paris I Panth\u00e9on-Sorbonne), Michel Narcy (Jean P\u00e9pin Center UPR76, CNRS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A colloquium on \u00ab Biological Perspectives on Political Animals in Aristotle \u00bb will be held at the Galatasaray University (Istanbul) on April 29-30, 2013.
