In this 36 lecture series, Dr. Robert Bartlett of Boston College examines the ethical and political philosophy of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. He focuses on Plato's Republic, The Trial of Socrates, Aristotle's Nichomean Ethics, and Politics. He is an excellent lecturer, skilled at making abstract concepts accessible.

I haven't grappled with Greek philosophy since my undergraduate days, before my career's start. Nevertheless, I find it interesting to reexamine notions of human virtue and " ideal" political systems looking back and reflecting on my experiences. I wish I had saved my undergraduate papers!

robin friedman I would be terribly embarassed if I still had my undergraduate papers -- in philosophy or any other subject.

Crystal I feel like I'm exercising my mind when I spend some time focusing on philosophy. It's so great to have someone to discuss it with, too. Whenever I have a friend taking a class I make a point to "brush up" and I may pick up this book the next time I'm in that mode. Thanks, Linda.
