Over the four years you will read texts in a wide variety of genres, including epic, tragedy, comedy, philosophy, oratory and historiography. Whether you are continuing your language studies or taking Greek as a beginner, you will engage with ancient texts both as literature and as a gateway into culture and thought. For all of your language-based courses the groups will be small, stimulating lively discussion, analytic skills, and the development of independent thinking.
In all cases the purpose of the Philosophy course is to give you a solid, scholarly grounding in the classical texts which form the history of western philosophy, and are one of the formative influences on western culture. Studying the fundamentals of both formal and informal reasoning will enable you to think independently. |
