The course will delve into philosophical concepts explored by ancient Greek philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. These discussions may touch upon abstract ideas related to ethics, politics, and metaphysics, which could be intellectually challenging for some students. Ancient Greece had a rich history that included wars, politics, and societal norms. While we will present historical events in an educational context, some discussions may include mature themes related to warfare, power dynamics, and societal structures. The course will explore the life and conquests of Alexander the Great. While we will focus on his leadership and historical impact, some discussions may touch on battles, strategies, and the broader consequences of his conquests.
