This course is part of the series of "core readings"-courses in which all students in the Research Master Philosophy study key texts and topics from the main fields of philosophy. In this historical course, we shall focus on a topic (to be determined later) that can be treated from the perspective both of ancient and of modern philosophy, and that is of interest also for the fields of theoretical and of practical philosophy. Earlier editions of this course dealt with scepticism and with Aristotle's and Hegel's theory of the soul. Close reading of the original texts forms the basis of the discussions in class.
