Course Description:
This course largely focuses on Western philosophy from 6th century BCE to 15th century CE. It introduces you to Ancient and Medieval philosophy, by studying the theories of a number of well-known thinkers: Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas, while also attending to the theories of those who are less well-known, such as Mengzi [Mencius], Laozi, Ibn Rushd [Averroes], and Christine de Pizan.
We will focus on the relation between world, knowledge and goodness (i.e., metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics).
