Philosophical Perspectives

3 credits · Undergraduate

(3 hrs Seminar/Discussion) This course studies historical works by selected philosophers. Each course coherently focuses on an important thinker, a movement or school of thought, their predecessors and historical impact, and with comparisons to other thinkers strikingly similar or opposed in doctrine. The course avoids excessive specialization, but is built around the conviction that one good way to get breadth of philosophical insight is to move deeply into the spirit and world view of the great philosophers. For details on the topic to be studied, please contact the Philosophy Department. Requisite Courses: A minimum of 12 credit hours in Philosophy [prerequisite(s)].
