PH 252 - Theories of Knowledge

Institution:

Bentley University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite(s): PH 101 or instructor's permission This course examines the most important questions that we can ask about our beliefs: When should we take something that we believe to be knowledge and not mere belief What sort of evidence, reasons or assurances must we have for some belief we hold in order to be justified in holding it How should we respond to those skeptics who deny that we have knowledge about this for that area of human concern (for example, of ultimate reality, of ethics or of God) And how should we respond to the radical skeptic who denies that we have any knowledge at all The course will gain focus on these and similar questions in order to help the student gain a deeper understanding of the nature and limits of human knowledge.
