In this introductory level course, major philosophical questions will be examined to acquaint the student with the historical and structural foundations of Western thought. Emphasis will be placed upon the assumptions and methods of inquiry used by major philosophers, and a procedure for comparative analysis will be developed. Parallels will be drawn from history, art, literature, science, and technology to illustrate the thought structure of the age under discussion. 3 cr. 3 Lec. (Departmental Standards Version of PHI 101.)

This course will focus upon Indian, Chinese and Japanese religion and philosophy, as revealed through a historical and developmental study of the major religions of the Far East; Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism and Shintoism. Original materials, both ancient and modern, will be studied so as to better understand the many diverse factors which have contributed to form the great civilizations and the complex nature of Far Eastern thought. Prerequisite: PHI 101, or permission of instructor. 3 cr. 3 Lec.

Ethics involves the study of human choice and action based on concepts of value and obligation, and it attempts to uncover and analyze these fundamental assumptions of value implicit in all aspects of our decision-making processes. This course will examine seven fundamental views on ethics, systematically studying classical and modern source works in moral philosophy. Students will then put theory to the test by actively discussing contemporary ethical problems with working professionals in such fields as medicine, law, family counseling, and business. This two-fold approach to the study of ethics will sharpen valuable skills in reasoning and logic, and will also help students develop a rational approach toward discovering and articulating their own values' structure. Prerequisite: PHI 101. 3 cr. 3 Lec. (Per Departmental Standards Version of PHI 221, approved by Academic Affairs on 10/18/01).
