Activity itinerary

This experience begins at Rizari Park, under shaded trees. We will discuss the historical background, through story-telling, focusing on the chain Socrates teacher of Plato teacher of Aristotle. You will also have the opportunity to read quotes in ancient Greek, using our special reading cards! Then we will explore the key element of the Aristotelian Ethics theory, Virtues! Afterwards, we will walk towards the nearby archaeological site of Lyceum, Aristotle’s School. After entering Lyceum, we will philosophize while walking around the same paths as the Aristotle’s students used to do; this was the reason why they took the name "Peripatitiki philosophers" (Peripatos=walk/stroll). We will explore the Golden Mean theory with a multiple choice game including modern life examples. Then, we will sit at the small amphitheatre with direct view of the excavations. There, we will discuss how the Aristotelian theory can help us achieve Eudaimonia, the ultimate human goal, through examples taken from our daily life.
