We will look at some perennial philosophical problems:
- Is there a God?
- What is knowledge, and how do we get it?
- What is the place of our consciousness in the physical world?
- Do we have free will?
- How do we persist over time, as our bodily and psychological traits change?
The second goal is to get you thinking philosophically yourself. This will help you develop your critical reasoning and argumentative skills more generally. Along the way we will draw from late, great classical authors and influential contemporary figures.
What you'll learn
- How to construct and analyze philosophical arguments
- How to write clearly and communicate complicated ideas effectively
- Arguments for and against the existence of God
- The distinction between epistemic and practical rationality
