Philosophy 201 is the first course in a three term Introduction to Philosophy sequence of courses. Philosophy 201 addresses persistent problems in descriptive philosophy. Topics covered include Metaphysics: What types of entities are there in existence? What is the underlying nature of reality? Epistemology addresses questions about human knowledge and its reliability. How do we come to know reliably about the world around us? Suppose humans are merely physical entities (a metaphysical assumption) and suppose we have a reliable epistemological theory, then what would be the prospects for building an artificial one of us? That's a field of study known as Artificial Intelligence, the third topic studied in Philosophy 201. F

The second course in this series is devoted to the study of Ethics, a prescriptive branch of philosophy that asks: How ought we to act? Major ethical theories studied are macro ethics, deontology, consequentialism, and an individual rights perspective that can also be used to answer the question: How ought I act? A major emphasis in the course is the detailed application of the theories studied to dozens of examples of real life ethical problems. The examples are drawn from: Medical ethics, legal ethics, business ethics, taking human life, death with dignity, abortion, bioethics, truth telling, human sexuality, environmental ethics, and the treatment of animals.
