PHL 2068 PERSONHOOD & THE MODERN CITY
The idea behind the seminar is to respond to the question: why do we live in cities at all? How can we metaphysically justify the human need for interpersonal relations? The questions might sound rather absurd, but interpersonal relations have been difficult to justify since antiquity, when it was believed that human perfection is being self-sufficient. This course will study Aristotle, Anquinas, and Contemporary Metaphysicians.
