PHRL 32000 Premodern Philosophy
GE-Human Culture: Philosophy Ancient Greek and Roman philosophers presented their schools of thought as ways of life, not mere arm-chair rambling. Between 600 B.C.E. and 300 C.E., these philosophers put forth arguments about the nature of reality, knowledge, ethics, politics, and the divine that are still applicable to our modern lives. In this course, we analyze the central arguments supporting these views as we explore the works of the Pre-Socratics and Sophists, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, the Stoics, the Skeptics, and the Neoplatonists.
