Introductory Proseminar
Term:
Fall 2010
Subject Code:
GPHI
Course Number:
6516
In this proseminar, we investigate a series of philosophical conversations,
beginning with Plato and Aristotle and ending in the 20th century, and,
through a close reading of selected texts, offer an introduction to the basic
themes that inform the study of philosophy at The New School for Social
Research. This is a noncredit proseminar for first-year students; while it
is not compulsory, it is designed to help new students make the transition
to graduate study. To this end, we intersperse lectures from Philosophy
department faculty with seminar discussions. Time is also devoted to the
issue of academic writing and more general associated with being a new
graduate student in the department.
