On Friday 13 May, Dr Jean-Paul De Lucca, lecturer in philosophy and Director of the Centre for the Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Malta, will be delivering a public lecture on
Thomas More and the
Transmission of Cicero鈥檚 De Legibus
The lecture will explore links between Cicero鈥檚 thought and Utopia against the backdrop of the transmission of Ciceronian texts in Renaissance Humanism, of which More was a major figure.
The lecture, organised by the Malta Classics Association, also forms part of an events series being organised by the Departments of English, German and Philosophy within the Faculty of Arts at the University of Malta to mark the 500th anniversary of the publication of More鈥檚 Utopia.
The event will be held in St Dominic's Convent, Rabat at 18:30 and is open to the general public. Entrance is free and refreshments will follow the talk.
