PHIL 354 - Philosophy as a Way of Life: Ancient Greek Philosophical Traditions 3 Credit Hours
This course explores the power and promise of Ancient Greek thought. Beginning with the pre-Socratics, moving to Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, and ending with thinkers of late antiquity, we will investigate the ideas and philosophical practices of these thinkers. Beyond our theoretical investigations, this course will include reflections on how and why Ancient Greek philosophies can be the basis for transformative life experiences. We will contemplate the ways in which, for the Ancients, philosophy was more than an intellectual exercise. Philosophy was, for them and can be for us, a way of life.
Prerequisite(s): One course in philosophy. Not open to students who have completed PHIL 341 .
