Anna Marmodoro

In March Anna gave a research paper on Galen’s Aristotelian powers at the workshop: “Dispositions; philosophical and historical perspectives” at the Humboldt university in Berlin; and was a panel discussant at the conference on “Powers, Essence and Activity in Late Antiquity” which she co-organized with Philippe Hoffman in Paris. During the month she worked primarily toward completing her monograph on Anaxagoras for OUP, under the title “Everything in Everything. An essay on Anaxagoras’ metaphysics”.

In February Anna presented her work in progress on "Powers, Structures and Downward Causation" at departmental colloquia in Helsinki and Tampere (Finland) and her work on the Stoics on parts and wholes at the University of Leeds. Anna and Sophie Cartwright were offered a contract from Cambridge University Press for their coedited volume on Mind and Body in late Antiquity.
