Expanded Course Description
| This is an advanced introduction to Plato’s thought. The course will consist in learning to read Plato’s dialogues. In doing so we will begin to engage the ways of thinking that Plato opens for us in his works in manners that will offer us new thresholds for philosophical thought. The Platonic dialogues are unlike any other philosophical text, and in their uniqueness, they offer ways to rethink philosophy’s sense, its limits, and delimitations. Furthermore, with such turns the very way in which we encounter and articulate the cosmos, worlds, identities, intersubjectivity, and all senses of being are themselves put in question and open to transformation. We will focus on the Phaedo, and read from The Republic, and from the Timaeus. The course will consist in close reading of texts, with some lectures that situate them historically, in terms of their reception, and conceptually. All lectures will be based on the original Greek texts, and, while reading in translation, students will be responsible for developing a basic Ancient Greek philosophical vocabulary as part of their course work. |
