- Course Catalog Description:

- Class Notes:
- Are there any facts about what is morally right or wrong? Or is it all just a matter of how we feel? Is it possible to know what will happen in the future, given knowledge of what's happened in the past? Is it possible to know anything at all? What is it to be a person, as opposed to just an animal? What guarantees that I am now the very same person as the person who started typing this paragraph a few minutes ago? Do I have free will? If not, how can I be held morally responsible for any of my actions? Is it ever morally permissible to steal from someone else? What reason do I have to be moral anyway? In this class we will tackle these and other classical philosophical questions by reading work by both contemporary and historical philosophers. If you've ever found yourself wondering about any of these questions, or if you're generally just curious about what philosophy is or how it is practiced today, then this class is for you.
