PHL 342 - Aristotle

Course Units: 1.0

(TBD: Staff) Aristotle is one of the most influential philosophers in the Western world. His impact spans centuries, influencing ancient Greek and Roman thought, medieval Christian, Arabic, and Jewish thinkers, and even today’s philosophers and intellectuals. In this class we will focus mostly on his contribution to metaphysics, philosophy of mind, epistemology, and ethics. What is the nature of reality? How do we come to have knowledge? What constitutes a good human life? These are just some of the questions that we will discuss in the course. Cross-Listed: CLS 242 CC: HUM
