Story
Er valt veel te vertellen over het vrouwenleven in 1000 jaar Griekse oudheid, van Homerus tot en met Plutarchus, ondanks dat de geschriften van mannelijke auteurs onze belangrijkste bron van informatie vormen. Classicus Hein van Dolen begint zijn hoorcollege met de verhalen over de schepping van de vrouw en de redenen van de opkomende vrouwenhaat bij de antieke Griekse mannen. De positie van de vrouw zoals Homerus die heeft beschreven komt aan bod, evenals de huwelijkssluiting in de epische tijd. Wat waren hun plichten en (weinige) rechten voor en na het huwelijk?

Story
Dit is deel 3 van de collegeserie Een geschiedenis van de westerse wijsbegeerte en gaat over de periode van de 3de eeuw v.C. tot de 6de eeuw n.C. Filosoof Johan Braeckman vangt dit deel aan met de behandeling van de geschiedenis van de wiskunde, meetkunde, natuurkunde en geneeskunde in de Griekse Oudheid. Hij besteedt daarbij uitgebreid aandacht aan de werken van Euclides en Archimedes en hun invloed op latere wetenschappen. Maar hij bespreekt ook de levens en werken van andere filosofen en wetenschappers uit die tijd.
