The goal of the course is simplistic, yet simplicity is a willful and difficult act of metacogniton that requires, paradoxically complex thought about what thinking is, what the thinking process looks like, and how to control it; especially if you are just trying to be simple, straight forward, what you are.Although we may not move only in chronological order, nor beg that question that one philosophical movement is necessarily a direct reaction and evolution of the previous movement in history, it is important that we look at the way that historical contexts effect philosophical movements and how seemingly disparate movements, separated by time, might participate in similar conversations about what thinking is.Below are some links to Western Philosophical Time lines for Figures and Movements we will cover during the semester:
