Description:

H - In this course, students will engage in the study and practice of philosophy.

"What is knowledge?" "Does exist?" and "What is the meaning of life?" Other issuewill be examined as well, such as the nature of reality, freedom of the will, the nature of morality, and the best way to organize society. This course emphasizes the role of reason and argument in a community of inquiry; the goal is for students to emerge from the class with an understanding of how philosophy is done, a familiarity with key historical texts and themes, and a foundation for further study both within and beyond the discipline. Prerequisite(s): Co-enrollment or completion of ENGL 100 (formerly ENG 100) with a grade of 2.0 or higher or placement by testing in ENGL& 101 (formerly ENG 101).
