PHILOS 1100

Introduction to Philosophy

Examination of major problems, such as the nature of reality, knowledge, truth, morality, and the relation of philosophy to science and religion.

Overview

What is the ultimate nature of right and wrong? Can values be objective? Why is there something rather than nothing? Does God exist? Do we have free will? Does it matter? Does anything matter, really? Believe it or not, these are all serious philosophical questions that have important implications for how we should live our lives. Introduction to Philosophy strives to engage these and other perennial philosophical questions using historical and contemporary sources from around the globe.
