PHIL 330 Ancient Philosophy
This course examines in greater depth the history of ancient Western philosophy and political theory from the Presocratics to the dawn of the Middle Ages. Major thinkers will be examined in light of the classical topics of human nature, the good life, the good society, history, and the nature of knowledge and reality. While the majority of our emphasis will fall on classical Greek philosophy, we may also examine issues in Hellenistic and Roman philosophy.
