- Class Description:
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 act morally anyway?
In this class we will tackle these and other classical philosophical questions by reading work by both contemporary and historical philosophers. - Who Should Take This Class?:
- Anyone who has ever wondered about any of the questions above. Anyone who is curious to know what philosophy is and how it is practiced by philosophers today.
