Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Students will be introduced first to the history of Ancient Greek and to the Greek Alphabet. Then we will discuss important philosophical terms from all areas of philosophy (natural philosophy, logic, metaphysics, ethics) drawing on important passages from ancient philosophers, including passages from the Presocratics, Plato and Aristotle. One central aim of the course is to explain main concepts of ancient philosophy, such as substance (ousia), virtue (arete), syllogism (syllogism). Another aim of the course is to familiarise students with the most important instruments for the study of ancient philosophy, such as dictionaries, editions, encyclopaedias, and translations.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam (which would include transcription, grammar, explanation of philosophical terms, translation of short Greek passages of philosophical prose)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

We will read short texts of ancient philosophers and we will try to translate them and understand their grammar and syntax. Active participation is desired. Help will be provided to students in a tutorium.

Examination topics
