Political Philosophy
What developments in political philosophy occurred during this time period? (There’s not much, except the Stoics’ view.) Do you tend to think that there are some natural ethical laws that apply to all humans, or do you think that all laws (ethical & political) are man-made?
Metaphysics
Discuss the differences between Plato’s, Aristotle’s and the Stoic’s theories of reality. Plato and Aristotle are considered 2 of the top 3 philosophers in the history of philosophy. All other metaphysics until the 1800’s are thought to have either Platonic or Aristotelian elements in them. It is extremely important for understanding the history of ideas/civilization that you understand the Platonic/Aristotelian distinction.
Deity
How is Aristotle’s theory of deity like the Christian view of deity, and how is it unlike the Christian view?
Epistemology
Discuss the differences between Plato’s, Aristotle’s and the Stoic’s theories of knowing. Plato and Aristotle are considered 2 of the top 3 philosophers in the history of philosophy. All other epistemologies until the 1800’s are thought to have either Platonic or Aristotelian elements in them. It is extremely important for understanding the history of ideas/civilization that you understand the Platonic/Aristotelian distinction. How can you relate to any of these ways of knowing today? Can you give a concrete example of how you have seen the Platonic/Aristotelian distinction in your life?
