Contemporaries Read Ancients

Catalog description

Contemporaries Read Ancients has twin pedagogic goals. The first is to deepen the study of antique thought and build upon prior understandings of ancient canonical texts; the second is to introduce the work of contemporary continental thinkers. In 2023, the seminar will focus on the relations among theory, perception, the productive arts, and politics, and will consider works by Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Arendt, among others.
