In this course we continue a study of philosophy, ancient, modern and contemporary, Western and Eastern, that we began in the Fall with a new lineup of philosophers that will include a discussion of the ancient Stoics such as Zeno, Chrysippus, and Marcus Aurelius, as well as a contemporary female philosopher’s analysis of them (Margaret R. Graver); a study of a Taoist approach to some of the same issues; and then a study of two other female philosophers, Hannah Arendt and Martha Nussbaum on the philosophy of the Humanities and why they are so important today. Students need not have taken the Fall course to be able to relate to the content of this course. Q&A included.
