Student Studies Ancient Greek to Pursue Contemporary Epistemology and Philosophy of Western Religion
I used my CWCTP grant to study ancient Greek independently over summer, 2018. I progressed through many chapters of From Alpha to Omega, the textbook used at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ-Boulder which covers grammatical concepts (etc.) for beginner-level students. Originally, I had hoped this project would help my study of ancient Greek philosophy; as I now aim to pursue contemporary epistemology and philosophy of (western) religion, I hope that my understanding of Greek aids in the latter aim.
A special thanks to Kathleen Ragland of CWCTP, who worked (tirelessly!) with me in an attempt to add me to beginner's Greek I and II over the summer. While ultimately to no avail in my case, it now appears philosophy grad students will have less difficulty doing so in the future.
