HONR 600 - Great Conversations I: the True

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Honors College

Description:

The reality of truth is the indispensable basis of logic and with it the power of reason, which is to say the ability to give reasons for what one thinks is true. The pursuit of truth distinguishes knowledge, which always means knowing the truth, from the mere acquisition of information. To be liberally educated is to acquire an autobiography that includes one's adventures in the pursuit of truth, and thus the growth of one's capacity for knowledge. Hence this course will include both instruction in logic and reflection on the nature of belief, knowledge, and reason.
