Aristotle and Beyond (PHLU 3521)
Astrid O'Brien
|
When Dante meets Aristotle in The Divine Comedy, he calls him "the Master of
those who know," reflecting his dominance as "the philosopher." Yet, Aristotle
has been under attack since the Renaissance. This course will therefore ask
whether Aristotle has anything still to say to us. We will survey Aristotle's
philosophical thought - his philosophy of nature, art, and his ethical and
political theory. We will also read various neo-Aristotelians in considering the
development and appropriation of Aristotelian thought by later philosophers.
