PHL 5001 Aristotle & Aquinas
This course analyzes the Aristotelian and Thomistic texts concerned with the nature of reality, the human soul, ethics and God. The psychology and ethics of Aristotle will be compared with those of Aquinas, with a view toward self-understanding. This course can also introduce students to philosophy and acquaint them with the basic insights of western culture, and is open, therefore, to those without previous study of philosophy at the undergraduate or graduate level.
