Great Philosophers

PHILOSOPHY 125C

In this course we focus on some of the most important texts in the history of Western philosophy in order to discuss a wide range of central philosophical problems. Among the philosophers most likely to be studied are Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Kant, Mill, Marx, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein. Our goal is not just to appreciate the genius of some great philosophers but also to grapple with the current philosophical problems they have bequeathed to us.
