Massimo Cacciari - The Trojan War February 8, 2017, 5:45 p.m. For Myths Without Time Massimo Cacciari reflects on the Trojan War, an event that in our imagination oscillates between history and literature, in a meeting dedicated to one of the most compelling episodes of the classical world. Massimo Cacciari graduated in Philosophy in Padua, with a thesis on Kant's "Critique of Judgement". After graduation he was assistant to Dino Formaggio at the Chair of Aesthetics in Padua. From the academic year 1970-1971 he had a position in Artistic Literature at the University Institute of Architecture in Venice and in those years his friendship and collaboration with Manfredo Tafuri began. In 1980 he became an associate professor of Aesthetics and in 1985 a full professor of the same subject. In 2002 he founded the Faculty of Philosophy of the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan with Don Luigi M. Verzé and became its first Dean. He is currently retired. In October 2012 he received the title of Professor Emeritus from the Minister of Education, University and Research Francesco Profumo. He is a close collaborator of the Italian Institute for Philosophical Studies in Naples and the Collége de Philosophie in Paris. Review Myths without Time
