This course provides an in-depth examination of sport in the Greco-Roman world. Lectures and discussions will follow a chronological and thematic sequence. Emphasis will lie equally on both the development of formal aspects of sport (e.g., techniques and rules of individual events; training; prizes; historical development of the Olympics and other international and local games) as well as its social and political ramifications. Moreover, the course will provide an introduction to the written and material evidence germane to the reconstruction of the history of sport in the ancient world and will survey the impact on Greco-Roman sport on the modern Olympic and sports movements.

Ancient Philosophy I: Plato and His Predecessors

What is a good life? What is the world like? How does the human world relate to the divine? These fundamental questions occupied the earliest Greek philosophers, from Thales to the Sophists, Socrates, and Plato as well as ancient historians, tragedians, and even doctors. In this course, we will do philosophy with them, focusing on the themes of law (nomos) and nature (phusis).

"Intellectual Encounters and Intertwined Histories" This course explores the intricate relationship of Judaism and Islam from the rise of Islam until the end of the 20th century. Their shared history is characterized by a dynamic interplay of exchange, imitation, dialogue and conflict. Unlike other approaches, this course adopts a regional survey, examining how these two rich religious traditions interacted across various cities and regions of the Islamic world. Moreover, the course offers insights into the intellectual crossroads between Muslims and Jews, particularly in the second half of the semester, where we focus on the intersections of their thought in areas like hermeneutics, theology, philosophy, law and mysticism.

CL 232

The Religious World of the Earliest Christians
