Course Preview: PHIL 201 History of Philosophy I

From Thales to Democritus, from Socrates and Plato to Aristotle, from the Stoics to the neo-Platonists, and from St. Augustine (on the right) to St. Anselm and St. Thomas: PHIL 201 is an encounter with the figures and texts that have shaped our culture. It begins with the ancient Greeks and culminates in the Medieval synthesis of Christian faith and reason. This is an excellent course for anyone with a curiousity about the great ancient worldviews that helped shape Christian thought.

Prof. Aron Reppmann, an expert in the philosophy of Plato, teaches this course. He's passionate about Plato and the Platonic tradition, and will help you explore the riches of our ancient past. For him, as well as the ancients, philosophy is truly a love of wisdom.

Join Prof. Reppmann at 9AM MWF this spring!

(No prior background in philosophy is necessary, though PHIL 101 and 102 (or 108) are recommended.)
