Meets MN Transfer Goal Area 6 - Humanities and Fine Arts Introduction to Philosophy explores the questions that arise from standard philosophical attempts at understanding human nature and experience: Are we minds and bodies? Just bodies? Just minds? What difference might it make? What is it to lead a good human life? What is knowledge? What can we know, and how do we know it? Is reality independent of our minds? Is there a God? Students will be introduced to classical philosophical treatises that offer answers to these fundamental questions, and will be challenged to develop analytic thinking skills to defend and articulate their own answers. In this course, neither fluency nor even passing acquaintance with the history and practice of philosophy is presupposed; curiosity, on the other hand, is.
