Course Overview

Aristotle believed the philosophical life is one of inquiry and reflection. In this course we will be reading some great philosophers through history and getting oriented to some perennial philosophical problems. Think of the course as a thoughtfully guided tour.

All of the readings are in the best student editions with very useful introductions and explanatory notes. Readings: Plato, Last Days of Socrates (Christopher Rowe trans) Penguin Books.
