Sem in Classical Studies

SAME AS FINH-UA 0150 & CLASS-UA 0150.

This course will be fundamental to graduate students to understand correctly the works of literature and philosophy that they will encounter during their studies. Students are usually exposed to those without looking at how they originated and have some trouble identifying what is original. Besides spending some time to consider elementary education and questions if it was open to all, the course will focus on the education by grammarians, orators, and philosophers. I will place particular emphasis on rhetorical education and declamations. Some attention will be paid to philosophy and especially to the Stoics (Epictetus). There will be a midterm (negotiable) and a paper.
