  • PHL 2072: Medieval Philosophy

    3.00 Credits
    Manhattanville College

    The most important philosophical problems for medievals concerned matters of faith, and the relation between faith and human reason. Can we rationally prove that God exists? Just what does it mean for God to be transcendent? Can the human mind know God? What is the relation between man and God? Are human beings free? This course is an introduction to these problems, and to the great medieval systems of thought that were constructed in order to answer them.

  • PHL 3000: Plato

    3.00 Credits

    Plato is the greatest literary talent in the history of philosophy. Both through perception and misperception of his writings, Plato's influence on subsequent philosophy remains unsurpassed. The primary aim of this course is to introduce students to Plato's dialogues and to provide a foundation for a lifetime of independent study of Plato. There is perhaps no better way to begin one's personal study of philosophy than with Plato's writings.
