What is the course about?

Philosophy has been invented by ancient Greeks. Plato and Aristotle are still widely regarded as the two greatest philosophers of all time. These great thinkers and their predecessors, the earliest Greek philosophers, raise fundamental questions and develop the use of argument to try and answer them: What is the nature of reality? Is the world the way we perceive it to be? Is the world constantly changing or always the same? What is it to be a good person? What is the best kind of life for a human being to lead? What it is to know what is good? What is it to know anything, rather than just have an opinion?

In this course you will explore some of the central issues and views discussed by the ancient Greek philosophers, eg. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle. You will read and engage with ancient Greek philosophical texts, identify and reconstruct philosophical arguments. You will also understand the continuing importance of ancient philosophy nowadays.
