PHL 3001 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. While serving as a seminar to fulfill the ancient or medieval seminar requirement for philosophy majors, this course can also introduce students to philosophy and acquaint them with the basic insights of western culture. It is open, therefore, to nonmajors, as well as majors in philosophy.
