Classical Greek Philosophy
What is “the good,”
and why is it that one can never step into the same river twice? This
program featuring Princeton University’s Alexander Nehamas and Richard
Sorabji, honorary fellow at Wolfson College, the University of Oxford,
addresses core topics in ancient philosophy such as freedom and fate,
permanence and change, happiness, the nature of the cosmos, and the
immortality of the soul. Concepts as articulated by key figures including
Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Heraclitus, Pythagoras, and the Milesian and
Eleatic philosophers—in combination with quotations drawn from Plato’s
Republic, Aristotle’s Physics, and other influential sources—make
this program an excellent tool for building a solid understanding of Western
philosophy. (51 minutes) The DVD version has on-demand English subtitles and
can be viewed using a DVD player or computer DVD-ROM drive.
