This course is for those who had little or no philosophy in their education and feel they would benefit by filling in that gap. It is also for those who already love philosophy and want to discuss some rich texts with like-minded colleagues. We will meet weekly over Zoom for seven weeks and discuss a different philosopher or school of philosophy each week. This Fall our focus will be on ancient Greece and Rome (if all goes well there will be a spring course on Medieval Philosophy and another one in the summer on the Moderns). We will spend three sessions on the ancient Greeks (the Presocratics, Plato, and Aristotle) then another four on the ancient Romans (Skepticism, Stoicism, Epicureanism, and NeoPlatonism).
Texts: We will be using online, open-source texts. All required texts are linked in the course.
Schedule: 8/24, 8/31, 9/7, 9/14, 9/21, 9/28, and 10/5 from 6:00-7:30 PM (CST)
