  • CTI 213: Philosophy in Greek Literature

    William Jewell College

    This course examines Greek literature and philosophy from the perspective of academic philosophy.Ancient Greek literature holds that we do not have complete control over our lives. Our plans can be upset by fate and the gods. What bearing, if any, did the ancient Greeks think this lack of control had on moral responsibility? How, if at all, do ancient Greek understandings of moral responsibility differ from our own? In what ways if any,are their understandings of moral responsibility superior or inferior to those of contemporary Western philosophy? In addition to the theme of moral responsibility, we will also consider Plato's critique of art, Aristotle's analysis of tragedy, and ancient Greek critiques of customary morality. Course texts are likely to include Homers' Iliad; Aeschylus' Oresteia; Sophocles' Oedipus cycle andMedea; Euripides' Electra and Bacchae; and Aristophanes'Cloud.All readings will be in English; no knowledge of ancient Greek is expected.
