In connection with the ongoing celebration of Aristotle's Year that has been announced by UNESCO, the Poznan Archaeological Reserve – Genius Loci organized a series of lectures "Walks with Aristotle" that refer to the famous name of the Peripatos school. This invitation has been accepted by one of the greatest scholars of Aristotle, Professor Enrico Berti from the University of Padua, who has been publishing for more than 50 years various studies on the philosophy of the Stagirite as well as on the history of philosophy. Recently, his very instructive book, entitled Aristotle's Profile, has appeared in Polish translation (Poznań 2016). Professor Berti's presentation provides an overview of his most important achievements. Included in these are his forthcoming works: his new translation and commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics as well as his monograph Aristotelismo which reconstructs the diverse interpretations of Aristotle's doctrines through centuries: from logic to epistemology, from physics to psychology and zoology, from metaphysics to ethics and politics and lastly from rhetoric to poetics. ; In connection with the ongoing celebration of Aristotle's Year that has been announced by UNESCO, the Poznan Archaeological Reserve – Genius Loci organized a series of lectures "Walks with Aristotle" that refer to the famous name of the Peripatos school.

It is common knowledge that modern political societies, and to even greater extent contemporary ones, are characterized by pluralism. The term is used to describe situations which contain within the same society individuals and groups associated by various religions, various cultures, and various ethical systems. This is the consequence of several historical phenomena of widespread influence, which began in modern epoch and has intensified in the contemporary era, such as secularization, emigration, the establishment of democratic regimes in an even-larger number of states. The thesis defended here is that the function of what Aristotle called the endoxa today can be performed by human rights, that is by the statements contained in the great declarations of rights found in national constitutional documents and in charters of the great international organizations, such as the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the Organization of African Unity, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, etc. ; Es sabido que las sociedades políticas modernas, así como a las contemporáneas aún en mayor medida, se caracterizan por el pluralismo. El término se utiliza para describir situaciones que contienen dentro de los individuos de una misma sociedad y grupos asociados de diversas religiones, culturas diferentes y diversos sistemas éticos. Esta es la consecuencia de varios fenómenos históricos de gran influencia, que se iniciaron en la época moderna y se ha intensificado en la era contemporánea, como la secularización, la emigración, el establecimiento de regímenes democráticos en un número aún mayor de-estados. La tesis defendida aquí es que la función de lo que Aristóteles llamaba la endoxa hoy puede ser llevada cabo por los derechos humanos, es decir por las declaraciones contenidas en las grandes declaraciones de derechos contenidas en los documentos de constitución y en los estatutos de las grandes organizaciones internacionales, como la de las Naciones Unidas, el Consejo de Europa, la Organización de la Unidad Africana, la Organización de la Conferencia Islámica, etc.
