PHIL 210 - Survey of Ancient Philosophy

3 credits
An introduction to the Ancient Period in the history of Western philosophy, with emphasis on primary texts and major figures such as Plato and Aristotle.

Philosophical texts may be supplemented with historical, literary, or other materials that serve to illuminate this context.
