Course objectives
After completing the course the students will be able to: - match a problem or expression from the history of ontology to a philosopher, historical era and other philosophical nexus. - identify a problem emerging from discussion on ontological questions; explain systematically (not only historically) the major explicative tendencies in ontology. Reading source literature should result in good knowledge of original text and the ability to classify it in historical and philosophical context. After the above mentioned abilities have been proved it is possible to debate some of the issues.
