In this course, we read works of ancient Greek philosophy and mathematics, and investigate the way in which ideas of definition, reason, argument and proof, rationality and irrationality, number, quality and quantity, truth, and even the idea of an idea were shaped by the interplay of philosophic and mathematical inquiry.

The range of subjects is broad, and includes a number of pieces on Aristotle's treatment of knowledge, some essays on nous, perception and consciousness, works on love, beauty and justice in Plato, and others. Kosman's approach is precise and also expansive. He has a nice way of using small interesting puzzles about Aristotle's thought as hidden passageways into exploration of the deepest Aristotelian concepts. He is very careful in considering language, context of obscure statements and all scholarly concerns. But he also allows himself to roam around the periphery of his subjects, almost always bringing us back to the center at the end. This occasionally leads to a feeling that one is tumbling from one concern to another without being able to see clearly where the essay is heading, and at least once or twice Kosman concludes an essay with a paragraph I wish he had put on the front end. But these are barely complaints; the richness of each essay is tied to the latitude he gives himself, and I found every essay elucidating, enriching and provocative. Though the collection is organized chronologically, with no attempt to group the essays topically, such an organization might have been productive. I read through the essays twice, first in the order presented, and then grouping them topically, and found much instructional complementarity in the latter.
