Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

The course will focus on Plato's Theory of Ideas and Aristotle's Metaphysics. With regard to the former, the relation to the Athenian polis and the establishment of philosophy within it will be shown, particularly in relation to Socrates, Plato's philosophical initiator together with the latter's polemics against the Sophists; the overcoming of Socratic elenchus towards an elaborate metaphysical theory and the Platonic rejection of Sophistic phenomenalism and moral relativism will therefore be studied. Plato's position towards aesthetic productions will be also examined. In a second time, the Aristotelian Metaphysics will be presented, first as a General Ontology that attempts to define each being and then, as the elaboration of a First Philosophy that examines the primary beings, those that occupy a paradigmatic position in relation to the rest. Next, Aristotle's famous turn to empirical studies and his establishment of the autonomous sciences will be analyzed. Throughout the course, special attention will be paid to the practices of the institution of philosophical discourse in Ancient Greece.
