Institution : Academy of Athens
The Research Centre for Greek Philosophy of the Academy of Athens was founded in 1966 in order to contribute in the highest possible degree to research concerning Greek philosophy and its history. Officially it started to function in the spring of 1970 and it became a vehicle for the systematic research and thorough study of the ancient philosophical sources and texts of the Greek philosophers as well as for the compilation and critical evaluation of modern bibliography on Greek philosophy, from its very beginning (presocratic, Platonic, Aristotelian) through the Hellenistic and Byzantine period to the 18th and 19th century.
