PHIL 001K. Introduction to Philosophy: Pursuits of Wisdom in Ancient Philosophy In the Greek and Roman traditions, philosophy is a complete way of life, not solely an intellectual discipline. In this course we will examine how Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Stoics, Epicureans, and Skeptics conceive of philosophy as a method for discovering what a meaningful, happy, and purposeful life is for human beings. Students will develop skills of formulating and analyzing arguments, reading and interpreting philosophical texts, and defending their own philosophical positions.
