PHI 430 - What's Really Real?

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Philosophy

Description:

Topics in Contemporary Metaphysics. Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that examines the ultimate nature of reality. Although, metaphysics has a very long history, in this course we will be concentrating on the 20th and 21st century contributions. We will study both key primary and secondary texts to explore such topics as existence, possibility and necessity, identity through time, free will and determinism, and the nature of events. There are no prerequisites for the course, but prior exposure to philosophy will be helpful. Students should be prepared to tackle challenging problems in recent philosophy.
