We are happy to announce that our invitation has been accepted by Prof. C.D.C Reeve (Delta Kappa Epsilon Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, N.C., USA) to come and visit Budapest and give two talks at our institutes.

Professor Reeve will present a paper at the Institute of Philosophy of the Research Centre of the Humanities of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and another one at the Faculty of Humanities of Pázmány Péter Catholic University.

The talks will be given in English and do not require a specialist knowledge of Aristotle. The two talks are connected, but each one also stands on its own.
