Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

This course offers an introduction to philosophy. We will focus on the three main areas of concern: epistemology (the theory of knowledge), metphaphysics (the theory of the nature of reality), and ethics (the theory of what we ought to do). You'll be exposed to philosophical modes of argument and inquiry. The course aims as much at developing the skills involved in pursuing these and other philosophical concerns as to acquaint you with particular positions.
