Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2189 This course examines the role played by the self in the systems of four philosophers: Plato, Aristotle, René Descartes, and David Hume. This list by no means is meant to suggest that all four philosophers are working with the same conception of the self: part of our challenge will be to chart how this conception changes from author to author. For Plato and Aristotle, our focus will be on their accounts of the soul. For Descartes and Hume, our focus will be on their conceptions of the self as a thinking subject. Only the assigned texts may be used in writing the papers. ; Enrollment Limit: 30 Humanities (HU) |
