CLASS 2319 - FROM PHILO TO PHILOPONUS: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY IN LATE ANTIQUITY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course is designed thematically and historically to expand the course offerings of the Departments of Classics and Philosophy. The history of philosophy in Late Antiquity is lamentably neglected by historians of ancient philosophy, even though the thinkers of this period made crucial and formative contributions to the development of Western philosophy, theology, and science. The aim of this course is to provide students with a clear sense of the cultural and social forces that shaped the doctrinal and philosophical debates and concerns of the first six centuries CE, and to familiarize them with the roots of what was to become medieval and Renaissance philosophy.
