Note: CLASS MEETINGS ARE CONDUCTED IN SPANISH. This is an introductory course in philosophy, focusing on central philosophical questions, such as: Can we establish the existence, or non-existence, of a God? What are minds, and how are minds and bodies related to each other? Do we have free will? What is the nature of morally right action? What is the nature of knowledge, and what if anything can we know? Course readings include works by historically influential philosophers (e.g., Plato, Descartes, Locke, and Hume), contemporary philosophers (e.g., Thomas Nagel, John Perry), and Spanish-speaking writers (e.g., Las Casas, Borges, Paz). Some of the readings are in English, some in Spanish.
