Philosophy through the Ages, Part 3

According to the ancient Greeks, philosophy means the love of wisdom. More broadly, philosophy is a journey undertaken by those who wish to understand fundamental truths about themselves, the world in which they live, and their relationship to the world and to each other. This course is the third in a four-part series exploring the history of this collective journey, continuing with Descartes, Pascal, Spinoza, Leibniz, Vico, Voltaire, and Rousseau; then on to Kant and the British school. After that we will then come to Hegel who will lead us into part 4 of our philosophical journey. Again, one can start with part 3 without having taken 1 or 2, so this part can be taken by anyone. This course uses the Hybrid format which allows students to participate remotely or in the classroom.
