By the end of this course, students will be able (1) to chart the historic genealogies of contemporary philosophical, theological, political and ethical ideologies of “Western” (or broadly European) origin, answering the question, 'Why does the so-called “West” think the way it does?'
(2) to articulate the position of Western thought within the wider network of worldwide philosophical and religious thought.
The course comprises an historical overview of major paradigm shifts in “Western” thought from roughly 500BC to the present. Beginning with Greek and Hebrew thought, we will see from the outset that the origins of European philosophy and theology are interlinked with those of the Middle East and possibly even India. We will progress through the paradigm shifts from realism, then via nominalism, voluntarism, empiricism and individualism to relativism, noting the historical and political events which precipitated each shift.
The course will be taught by mixed-media lectures, including video content, each ending with a guided group plenary to aid retention and to promote sharing of ideas. Evaluation will comprise (1) a mid-term report on 1st millennium thought, (2) an end of term report on 2nd millennium thought, and (3) a final essay written during class in examination conditions.

The class will be conducted in lecture form using PowerPoint, including audio-visual elements. Plenary sessions at the end of each class will reinforce learning and address deficits of understanding through group work with other students. Information about handouts and assignments will be announced on LMS. Feedback from students will be actively encouraged during plenary sessions. Feedback on student work will be written, but students are welcome to meet the lecturer for face-to-face discussion if desired.
