AGRS 36 :  Introduction to Greek Philosophy

9:30-11:00

An introduction to ancient Greek philosophy through study of Plato, Aristotle, and two of the most important of the schools of thought that succeeded them (the Epicurean and Stoic schools). These ancient philosophers set the agenda for many of the questions still thought fundamental to philosophic inquiry, but approached them in a spirit different from that typical of modern philosophy. They thought of philosophy as a way of life; indeed, the best way.

The course has no formal prerequisites, although it would be an asset to have completed an introductory course in Greek culture such as AGRS 10A or AGRS R44. Fulfils L&S breadth requirement in Philosophy and Values or Historical Studies.
