Catalog Description The philosophical traditions of Greece and Rome between the 5th century BCE and the 5th century CE. Important works by four representative figures (two from Classical Greece and two from the Roman tradition). (3 hrs. lect.) Recommended Preparation: Completion of ENG 100 or equivalent. Student Learning Outcomes Discuss terms and concepts like the "doctrine of homo mensura" and the "doctrine of ideas or forms" and evaluate their relevance (significance) for modern timeIdentify and discuss contributions of selected philosophers and the influence of each on the other through a historical perspective. Trace some of the roots of present day thought through the application of concepts and points of view forwarded in this class. Discuss the major tenets of the "classical mind" as well as those that made up the "medieval mind" in order to characterize these periods of time in an orderly and meaningful patter Degrees and Certificates at WCC the Course Applies To WCC Associate in Arts: DH Resources Philosophy Current Syllabus none currently available Past Syllabi None

Catalog Description Introduction to the history of philosophy based on texts or trans-lations of "modern" works, that is works originally written in a modern European language. (3 hrs. lect.) Student Learning Outcomes Describe the nature and significance of major controversies in epistemology, ethics, metaphysics, aesthetics, and method that define the period of modernity. Clearly explain, synthesize, and compare the arguments put forward by the modern philosophers studied in the course. Carefully evaluate the positions of the philosophers studied by employing the methods of philosophical inquiry such as critical thinking, critical reading, and critical writing. Clearly, concisely, and convincingly articulate reasons that support personal judgments about major controversies in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, and method.
