AR104 Lecture Notes - Euripides, Teleology
Document Summary
Week 12 lecture 1 november 27th, 2012. Part 2 essay: pericles" funeral oration is the best embodiment of humanism. Explain: socrates" speech to the athenians is about individuality. Explain: how does euripides describe the lot of women in his play, alcestis, lysias" the olympiacus speaks of civic responsibility. Wants to summarize greek culture and ideas. Large concern looking at socrates and plato: finds problem in socrates, he only focusses in the natural law of human beings, morality. Idealism (plato, concept of essence of things, reality), materialism (can only know ideas through things, cannot reject things off hand)
