What will I learn?
This short Ontology Course provides a practical route to grasping core categories such as substance, event, possibility, personhood, and abstract objects, while introducing major thinkers from Aristotle and Aquinas to Kant and Heidegger. You will learn to map ontologies, analyse concepts, read primary texts closely, engage with secondary literature, and design a focused research project with clear, defensible arguments.
