PLATO AND ARISTOTLE (WINTER)

Plato and Aristotle are two of the pillars of philosophy. This course will introduce students to some of their most influential theses and works with a special emphasis on Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. Students will also be introduced to the question of how and why their two opposite approaches to philosophy, rationalism and empiricism, still divide philosophers today.
