    Description
    This course introduces the student to a rigorous overview of ancient Greek thought starting with pre-Socratic philosophers and, as time permits, ending with Greco-Roman philosophy of the later ancient period. Major emphasis is placed on the works of Plato and Aristotle. Students read primary source materials, engage in careful analysis of the texts through class discussions and written assignments, and develop a solid conceptual foundation for further study in philosophy. This conceptual foundation is both historical, in terms of the development of ideas from one era or school to the next, but also in terms of the philosophical problems identified and addressed.
