Institution:

Mercer University

Subject:

Description:

A comparison of the two leading philosophical schools in ancient Rome: Stoicism and Epicureanism. Authors to be studied include Cicero, Seneca, and Lucretius. While the former two emphasize virtue and duty in an individual's dealing with fellow human beings and the gods, the latter attempts to free the Romans' minds from superstition. In addition to literary, cultural, and historical material, the further development of students' competency in Latin grammar and vocabulary will be stressed. (Every three years)
