- Class Notes:
- In this course, we will consider some of the numerous questions debated within philosophy. These include: What can we know? How do we know it? Is there a God? What is a person? What makes anyone the same person over time? How ought we organize ourselves politically? How do gender and race shape our lives? To think through these issues and questions, we will read texts authored by a diverse cross-section of philosophers, with the express purpose of regularly engaging students with perspectives relevantly unlike their own.
- Class Description:
In this course, we will consider some of the numerous questions long-debated within the history of philosophy, in addition to some questions raised only recently. These include: What can we know? How do we know it? Is there a God? How ought we to act? What is gender?
What is race? How do gender and race shape our lives? To think through these questions, we will read texts authored by a diverse cross-section of philosophers, with the express purpose of regularly engaging students with perspectives relevantly unlike their own.The goal of this course is not for students to come to steadfast conclusions about these important philosophical topics, but to leave with an understanding of, and appreciation for, both the kinds of questions asked, and the range of answers given, within the discipline of philosophy. The expectation is that students will have a safe space to consider critically topics they might not have had the chance to ponder before. The hope is that students will see this brief introduction to philosophy as just the beginning of philosophical exploration.
