Reading Day at the New York Historical Society

On Friday, December 10, 2021, the philosophy and history departments teamed up to bring a group of students to the New York Historical Society on Reading Day to see the exhibit Aristotle: From Antiquity to the Modern Era. The exhibit featured early modern manuscripts of some of Aristotle’s most important works on physics, metaphysics, logic, ethics and politics.

Included in the exhibit were works by Jesuit scholars Francisco Suarez (1583) and Giuseppe Agostini (1605). Maria Americo, Ph.D., assistant professor of history, and Daniel Murphy, Ph.D., associate professor and chair of philosophy, accompanied the students. The trip was funded with generous support from the Office of Leadership, Engagement and Orientation.
