This course deals with some of Aristotle’s most influential ideas. We will begin with one of his ethical works, the Nicomachean Ethics, and then move on to his metaphysics in the Categories. The rest of the term will be spent looking at Aristotle’s ideas about nature, causation, the infinite, place and self-motion in his Physics. Throughout the course, we will consider questions of interpretation, try to understand how Aristotle’s ideas fit together and engage with his views and arguments critically.
