Medieval Philosophy - Period 2 STEM in Amsterdam Program Fall 2023 Semester - Amsterdam

The course is divided into two parts. The first part is mostly (but not exclusively) prepared independently by the students themselves and deals with the history of philosophy (nevertheless aspects of some key figures and problems will be discussed in class). A monograph and the indication of study material for this part will be available on Canvas.

The second part focuses more specifically on a philosophical text (or texts) and includes reading selected passages and/ or an entire text,to be discussed in class (if necessary, in working groups). In other words, each class (or unit) will deal with a particular aspect and/or a particular author of the medieval philosophical tradition (see Canvas), including the meaning of some fundamental issues of philosophical terminology (see ?Terms? on Canvas) and the reading (and discussion) of a text.

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) awards credits based on the ECTS system. Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
