Introduction

This guide has been created to assist students enrolled in PHIL 7, Ancient & Medieval Philosophy. The place to start is your course syllabus! This can always be found in the Canvas shell for your class. If you have any questions you can always ask your instructor.

You can purchase copies at the Viking Bookstore. Some textbooks are available for rent or in e-book form.
