History of Philosophy IIa (Medieval and Modern Philosophy)

Pre-requisites: None

Course objectives: The aim of the course is to help students, through the study of theory and terminology of this period, develop the ability to write philosophical papers and to prepare them for rational, argumentative and critical reviewing of philosophical literature.

Course description: Grade will depend on two papers (each worth 30% of the final grade) and oral exam (40%). The first paper will be your short answer (2-3 pages) on one of the few offered topics about the arguments for God's existence. A lot of time we shall devote to disscusions on how to write papers. After that, you'll have three weeks to submit your paper, and than you'll get the grade with detailed comments. Your second paper will be the corrected version of the first paper. The grade for the second paper will not depend on the quality of that paper but only on the difference in quality between the first and the second version.

Learning Outcomes: Grade will depend on two papers (each worth 30% of the final grade) and oral exam (40%). The first paper will be your short answer (2-3 pages) on one of the few offered topics about the arguments for God's existence.
