Expanded Course Description
This course is an introduction to some currents, seminal thinkers, and texts of the Western philosophical tradition from the Ancient Greeks to Medieval Philosophy, Modern Philosophy, and 19th and 20th Century Philosophy. Student will gain insight into some major questions and developments in the Western history of philosophy. We will read mostly classical text but also text from women philosophers that in the past had been excluded from the canon. Among the Philosophers we will read are Plato, Aristotle, Epictetus, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Elisabeth of Bohemia, Cavendish, Conway, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, James, Heidegger and Beauvoir. We will read about topics such as how to live a “good” life, how we perceive and can know things, what time is, what truth is, the relation between mind and body, and the constitution of human subjectivity in relation to others and the world. Class time will consist in broader lectures on different epochs and currents in Western philosophy and closer readings of a few primary source texts. There will also be in-class exercises to learn basic skills in reading and analyzing philosophical texts and responding to philosophical questions.
This course fulfills the requirement for the UO Arts & Letters Core Education. |
