PHIL 214S - Ancient Philosophy: Preparation for the Gospel

Credits: 3
What does ancient philosophy have to do with the gospel? For the Fathers of the Church, ancient philosophy was seen as true preparation for the Gospel. This course thus presents the major figures and schools of Greek philosophy (Pre-Socratics; Plato and Aristotle; Epicureans, and Stoics, among others) as they precede and shape the world of the New Testament. Special attention will be given to Plato’s understanding of the Good and the Beautiful, and the possibility of reaching these transcendent goals by way of reasoned discourse.
