WESTERN PHILOSOPHICAL TRADITIONS

  • This course will present an overview of significant philosophers and schools of philosophy in the western tradition. The classical philosophy of Greece and Rome, as well as that of Judeo-Christianity, will serve as the anchor sources of study and analysis. In addition, great thoughts and great thinkers from many traditions will be considered. The class will require an open mind, a love of reading and thinking, and a willingness to discuss ideas in a respectful manner. This should be a very helpful course for the college bound student and any young person who loves to ponder the meaning of life!

  • Students should expect take home tests with personal and thought provoking questions; papers on some of the philosophers requiring research; and handouts with optional/mandatory assignments involved

  • There are no prerequisites to take this course, other than the student being capable of high school level course work and thinking well.

  • This course is worth 1/2 credit of high school Philosophy/Logic.
