Course

Description

https://at-ceu.studyguide.timeedit.net/modules/PHIL5859?type=CORE

Aim & Background

This will be a course in which we closely read selected texts from one or more seventeenth century philosophers. ((For 2025, the proposed main text is Descartes's Meditations). The course will focus broadly on metaphysics and epistemology, and the way that philosophical problems and debates were shaped by changes in the view of the physical world. Secondarily, we will consider how the philosopher's metaphysical and epistemological views inform how we should live our lives.
