Subject: RE: ellen.... you can't be up yet...Oh, you are going to love that course; I took it two years ago and was spellbound by it. In the first term we concentrated on Plato, Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, St Augustine, and two eastern philosophers. In the second term we took Machiaveli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Alex de Toqueville, Nietzche, and Lenin. The last two I did not particularly like but it made for interesting, albeit banal, reading. Keep me posted on this one; I would be particularly interested in the essays you will be writing. I had to write three essays for that course, one of which was on Machiaveli and "Virtu". |
