PHL 365 - Plato (3 Cr.)


The Theory of Forms, perhaps the most influential theory in Western philosophy, was devised early in Plato’s career. It was then significantly expanded and improved in many later dialogues affecting all areas of Plato’s thought: knowing, existence, and values. This course focuses on a discussion and critical examination of the Phaedo, Symposium, Republic, Phaedrus, Parmenides, Theaetetus, Sophist, and Timaeus. Prerequisite: either a 200-level philosophy course or permission of the instructor. Spring semester. Offered 2010-11 and alternate years. Welch.
