COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is the third in a series of courses on the highlights in the history of philosophy--all new philosophers this Spring with a focus on women philosophers, ancient and contemporary. Several male philosophers are discussed as well. Among philosophers discussed are Diotima, Socrates' female teacher, Hypatia of Alexandria, Simone De Beauvoir, Annette Baier, Judith Butler as well as Aristotle (his Politics), Augustine, Averroes, Berkeley, and Heidegger. There is no homework and no need for class preparation although each of these philosophers can be previewed online easily. This is a lecture and discussion class; lots of discussion encouraged.

This class will not meet on March 19, 2025.
