Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Students of these lectures 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 short 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 (arête), change-movement (kinêsis), world (kosmos), syllogismos (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.
