Description:

Using traditional philosophy as a framework, this course will address a series of open-ended and interdisciplinary questions. The course will draw heavily on recent research in science and religion, and introduce students to the nature of interdisciplinary investigation. The questions to be considered include: Do we have free will? Are aesthetic judgments objective? Are there many universes? Is belief in God rational? The issues will be explored in a nondogmatic way, emphasizing intellectual rigor rather than particular conclusions. Class discussions will identify, understand, and appreciate diversity of perspectives. Note: This class may be used as a substitute for CP295. Instructor permission required. Freshman honors course.
