The goal		Lectures in the subject “Hellenistic-Roman philosophy” should familiarize students with the best thinker of whole ancient philosophy, Aristotle. The intention is, latter, to enplane the causes and the consequences of the fall classic Hellenic polis and to frame Hellenistic-Roman age itself, which will be presented through the plurality of philosophical paradigms, doctrines and schools. A special accent will be on the stoicism, the Epicureanism and the scepticism in all its variety of manifestations as well as Peripatetics, Academics, Eclectics, Neopythagoreans , philosophy of Hebrew-Hellenic provenience, and finally on Plotinus and other Neoplatonists.
The outcome		Overmaster the basic doctrine, ideas and terms of Hellenistic-Roman philosophy in both, systematic and historic way.
