In this subject this influence will be examined and criticised through a study of a range of philosophical texts. Students should gain the ability to understand and criticise philosophical texts from the 5th to the 13th century and bring to the investigation of certain contemporary philosophical problems an informed sense of the contributions made to their solution in the middle ages. |
Assessment | Written work totalling 4000 words, and regular participation in tutorials. |
