Reading in Greek texts/authors. Texts/authors vary.
Class Description:
"Yesterday I went day to the Piraeus." These unassuming words are the opening of one of the most influential works in the history of Western thought: Plato's 'Politeia,' better known as the 'Republic.' Taking its start, as do many of Plato's dialogues, from a deceptively simple question?in this case, "what is justice?"?the 'Republic' opens out into a sketch of one of the earliest known literary utopias, an ideal state ruled by philosopher-kings. Along the way Plato, in the guise of his teacher Socrates, talks about the nature of education and society, including both some notorious opinions on the role of poetry in the state and the famous Allegory of the Cave, an extended metaphor for the mind's journey toward an understanding of the true nature of the world. During this course we will read in Greek the entirety of 'Republic' I and, as time permits, selections including the Allegory of the Cave and the Myth of Er; we will also read (in English) and discuss the entire text. Grading will be based on a combination of quizzes, tests, one or two short papers, and participation.
