Description:

Ancient Greece boasted great prosperity, especially in terms of intellectual genius. In this course, students will meet the early Greek thinkers who set philosophy in motion.

Through reading primary sources, students will acquire a familiarity with ancient philosophers, their methods, and their thought.
