The MAPLE lectures, organised by the Malta Classics Association in collaboration with the Malta National Library, are dedicated to the great wellspring of Western philosophy, Plato. This year, Dr Jean-Paul De Lucca (University of Malta), will turn his attention to Socrates, Plato's great teacher, to discuss the reception of this enigmatic thinker in Renaissance Philosophy and, in particular, in the works of the Dutch scholar, Heinsuis.'
The lecture 'Fashioning Socrates: The Sage, the Fool and the Octopus' will be held on Friday 29 November, at 19:00, at the National Library, Valletta.
