Delighted to share the poster and programme of the conference Gabriella Zuccolin and I are organizing on 18–19 June in Pavia (@ilGhislieri & @unipv).
Thanks to all the speakers, to @InfoSISPM for its patronage, and to @StefaniaAlpina for the poster design.
See you there!

I'm thrilled to announce the publication of two new papers of mine (one on animal emotions and the other on the philosophy of medicine in the Islamic world) in these extraordinary new volumes. Many thanks to the editors! @HistPhilosophy, Miira Tuominen, @AlexBroadb94262 Links⤵️

What better antidote to the September blues than the eagerly awaited new video of the Areb Bites series? This season's last episode explores how Ibn Sīnā grafts purely medical principles onto natural philosophy, thus creating a new science of organic life https://t.co/818vtADUR1

[Tommaso Alpina @TommyHilfigo]

Would you like to hear more about the triangulation between medicine, philosophy, and kalām in Ibn Sīnā? ‘Prognosis, Diagnosis, and Health.’ Happening in Pisa this afternoon and tomorrow, both in person and online!

[Tommaso Alpina @TommyHilfigo]

The fourth episode of AREB bites is out. Are you ready to explore Avicenna's embryology and theory of sexual reproduction?
