More than 2,500 years later, the fundamental questions asked by the ancient Greeks continue to challenge, fascinate, and instruct us. Is reality stable and permanent or is it always changing? Are ethical values like justice and courage relative? What is justice? What is happiness? How shall we best live our lives?

In this series of 24 lectures, Professor Roochnik invites you to join this eternal discussion. You'll study the development of Greek philosophy, meet its major thinkers, and explore the issues and ideas that concerned them, from the Pre-Socratic concerns with "Being" to the staggering contributions of Plato and Aristotle.

Alfred North Whitehead, the great 20th-century British philosopher, said, "The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato." In the Middle Ages, Aristotle was held in such high esteem that he was simply known as "the philosopher."

In this course, you not only learn about Greek philosophy but, to some extent, how to do it. Professor Roochnik emphasizes that Greek philosophy is ultimately not about facts or answers but about the give-and-take of ideas. By joining the conversation, you will come away with a new appreciation for how Greek philosophy still heavily influences our view of life.

A good introduction to some fundamental philosophical movements, thoughts and considerations. The structure and progression is clear and purposeful, and I especially liked how the lecturer approaches a problem from boleros directions to make it clear.

In some respects, some of the points are a little laboured, but otherwise very good.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The lecturer is a great teacher and explainer. I particularly liked that he made very clear which statements were his opinion or were otherwise open to interpretation.

Superb Course

Late in the day for me, but I finally have a notion of what Plato is telling me. Thorough, thoughtful account of Plato in particular. Made me want to read more of Aristotle and the pre-Socratics as well. Delivered in a relaxed and confident manner.
