FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Diverse Fates in Homer” by Prof. Hao Chunpeng, Shanghai Normal University, China
FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Diverse Fates in Homer” by Prof. Hao Chunpeng, Shanghai Normal University, China
Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/soiigfgx Abstract How does fate play out in Homer’s epics? Were Hektor’s and Achiles’s ends predestined? Do ordinary humans have any control over their lives, or do gods direct their plans? And does Zeus always have the final say? Fate is usually understood as the unknowable will of a supernatural power controlling all events in human life. In Homer, fate is a highly diverse notion, reflecting the hierarchical structure that defines the relationships between Zeus, other gods, heroes, and ordinary people. In what follows we look at how this structure plays out in the unfolding of events in the exciting Homeric universe. Bio Chunpeng Hao is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Shanghai Normal University. He obtained […]

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Spiritual-Based Values at the Cultural Crossroads” by Prof. Dan Chițoiu, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, Romania
FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Spiritual-Based Values at the Cultural Crossroads” by Prof. Dan Chițoiu, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, Romania
Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/3w6maslx Abstract In an increasingly interconnected world, the intersection of diverse cultures has become a rich ground for exchanging ideas, traditions, and values. At the heart of this cultural crossroads lies the potential for spiritual-based values to go beyond geographical, linguistic, and ideological boundaries. These values emerge from religious traditions, philosophical inquiry, or personal spiritual practices and experiences. Spiritual-based values are those principles and codes that arise from an awareness of the interconnectedness of all aspects of life, a multimillennial wisdom. Such values, rooted in the deeper dimensions of human existence, offer a framework for harmony in a world marked by division and conflict. Yet, while the potential of spiritual-based values is great, their integration into the cultural […]
