HONR 1010 - Origins of Philosophy

4 credit hours
With the beginnings of philosophy in Ancient Greece, China, and India, some of the great questions of culture and the life of the mind presented themselves. What is human excellence? What can we know? What makes a human life distinctively human? How should we live? In the dialogues of Plato, the treatises of Aristotle, as well as selected works from classical India and China, these questions and others are examined.
