    Description
    This course surveys the general historical accomplishments in western medieval philosophy from the 1st to the 15th centuries. Students critically examine some of the major philosophers of this period, such as Philo, Plotinus, Augustine, Boethius, Erigena, Ibn Sina, Al-Ghazali, Ibn- Rushd, Maimonides, Anselm, Aquinas, Duns Scotus, and William of Ockham with the specific aim of discovering how their ideas relate to such topics as ontology, epistemology, politics and human happiness, as well as ultimately uncovering the historical impact these ideas have on human thought.
