The course offers a survey of the views developed by the Hellenistic philosophical schools: the skeptics, the Stoics and the Epicureans. We examine the conceptual changes that ultimately lead to the formulation of the philosophical questions that occupy a central place in contemporary discussions, for example, the possibility of secure knowledge, the status of the soul and mind, emotions, happiness and a moral way of life.
