The course introduces the ancient greek philosophical thinking to the students through reading and interpretation of representative passages. The seminar organization is taking place in chronological order placing the emphasis on the basic questions that were posed in each era and occupy people throughout the centuries. Issues that concern the natural principles, the perception of knowledge, the relationship between soul and body, the principles that govern the human society as well as the existence of the divine are issues that are examined. The course’s central aim is to make the ancient greek philosophy understandable by the prototype passages, namely with the way the ancient philosophers perceived the philosophical reflection and activity.
