Course Description |
Intro to philosophical thought and issues and writings of the great philosophers; the nature of philosophy, knowledge, values, and reality. From the ancient (Plato, Buddhism, and the Bible) to the present (Ishmael, The Matrix, and Calvin and Hobbes) we'll explore the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. You will demonstrate your learning by demonstrating your ability to develop questions, participating in and leading class discussions, responding in journals and online to the philosophers and other people in the class, and making connections between your ideas and those of others in a self selected project and paper. |
