PH 201 - Introduction to Greek Philosophy

An overview of the thought and writings of some of the earliest Greek philosophers, particularly Plato and Aristotle. The course guides students through an exploration of some of the world’s “big questions” such as “What is humanity’s place in the universe?” and “What do we have to guide us to learn to live together in the world?”

Assignment Overview
Assignments: 4 Units

Interactivity: Discussion Board

Final Assessment: Final Paper

Course Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to have a strong basic-philosophical vocabulary. Words are, after all, the legs of the educational journey and, in philosophy, definition and verbal precision are to be valued above all else because it is upon words that we hang our ideas. This course will also be an excellent preparation for courses in Comparative Religions and Ethics.

Credits: 3
