Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2313 In Lyric Philosophy, Jan Zwicky remarks that “loss is perhaps the ultimate philosophical problem.” In this seminar—a joint venture of Bryn Mawr classical studies and Villanova philosophy—we will explore languages of loss and their uneasy place within philosophical forms of liberation. Our main readings will be Cicero’s Tusculan Disputations, Augustine’s De magistro and Confessions, and Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations. No proficiency in Latin is required for the course (we will be reading texts in translation), but students who do have proficiency will have opportunities to make use of it. |
