History of Philosophy

This course tracks the main directions in the development of the European philosophical ideas over time. Connections and parallels between the different schools are expressed, as well as the attitudes of continuity and discontinuity in the mental tradition, the one which is identified as a "western type of thinking". Accent is put on the main cognitive attitudes created by the ancient Greek philosophical tradition, their evolution and transformation under the influence of Christianity, the slow emancipation of the philosophical knowledge from theology, the development of the classical philosophy in the 17th and 18th century.
