Course Content (Syllabus)
From Andreas Calvos and his relationship with physics to Aristotle Nicolaides and his relationship with psychiatry and from the mathematical reading of Cavafy by Saregiannis to today’s mathematical literature, literature and literary criticism have often crossed paths with science engaging either in close relationships or in tug of war. The course explores this interrelation featuring various instances, focusing on specific periods and paradigms and addressing a dialogue with the theory and philosophy of science.
