The purpose of the HYELE Institute for Comparative Studies is to support and encourage Philosophical research into Science, Art, Culture, Theology, Law, Business, Politics, Human Behavior, and Education.
 

The HYELE Institute has hosted colloquia, workshops, and slow-reading seminars on Parmenides and Plato for doctoral students, with participating scholars from the Universities of Cambridge, Crete, and Patras. HYELE’s activities focus primarily on Ancient Greek Philosophy, but the institute has also supported interdisciplinary events, such as the multidisciplinary conference on Plato’s Timaeus, organized in collaboration with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, whose speakers included Nobel-Laureate physicist Sir Anthony Leggett, theoretical physicist Sean Carroll, Dean of Cooper Union’s School of Architecture Anthony Vidler, and many other renowned scholars.
