Course Content (Syllabus)
Introduction to ancient Greek philosophy (6th cent. BC - 6th cent. AD). This course seeks to make students familiar with the basic features of ancient philosophy and the basic distinctions ("schools") that exist within it, by reading and explaining several indicative texts. The course does not adopt the established narrative of the great “epochs” of ancient philosophy (Presocratic philosophy – Classical philosophy – Hellenistic philosophy – Philosophy of the imperial age), a product of the eighteenth and nineteenth century German historiography of philosophy, but follows over time the queries with which the ancient philosophical thought engaged. The main aim of the course is to make ancient philosophy understood from within, that is, in the way in which the ancient philosophers themselves understood philosophical inquiry and activity.
