PHIL 1415 - Philosophy and Popular Culture

Institution:

Central Lakes College

Subject:

Description:

Credits: 3 Prerequisite: none This course will examine ways in which a variety of nonstandard sources--films, novels, music, television--can offer insights into compelling philosophical questions such as the nature of knowledge, the meaning of reality, what it means to live ethically, and the meaning and possibilities of justice. Too often, philosophy is perceived by students to be simply a study of archaic ideas from long-dead sages. Philosophical ideas and questions, however, provide a pervasive underpinning for much of popular culture. And, equally importantly, popular culture increasingly presents itself as the platform for shared discourse within our society (and world). Transfer Curriculum Goal(s): 6
