PHI 2083 - Introduction to Philosophy-Honors

Institution:

Henderson State University

Subject:

Description:

Everyone does philosophy. Some do it well. Others do it poorly. However, whether or not one will do philosophy is not an option. Simply put, everyone does philosophy. Philosophy addresses the big questions - what does it mean to be human, what does it mean to be good or to live a good life, what is happiness and how do we know Philosophy involves self-reflection - who am I, what is my role in the universe, do I matter A goodly portion of the philosophic mindset is a simple curiosity - the questioning, the asking "Why " We address these questions and many others - nature of reality, existence of God, etc. - by entering into conversation with great philosophers of the past, with colleagues in the course, and with popular culture. In these conversations, our fundamental assumptions become clearer, our ability to analyze and think critically about ourselves, our communities, and our world becomes sharper, and our perspective on all these matters can become both broader and deeper. Prerequisite: ENG 1803 with a C or better and Honors standing.
