Comments about BA Philosophy with Classical Civilisation - At the institution - Coventry - West Midlands

Objectives
The historical roots of Western Philosophy are in ancient Greece, and its direction was fixed for centuries by the ways it was assimilated, modified and used in Latin culture. This degree is designed for students who wish to explore facets of the ancient civilisations that lie beyond the scope of purely philosophical studies. Students will find that a study of the world in which Philosophy developed sheds valuable light on the character of Philosophy itself. They may focus their work in Classics either on language and literature or on cultural and historical topics, or they may choose a more varied assortment of subjects to suit their own interests.
