Are you looking for a broad introduction to philosophy? Here’s a course structured both around some important themes and the broad sweep of philosophy’s history. We’ll explore arguments about reality, knowledge, ethics and politics, from antiquity to the current day. We’ll be dealing with abstract issues about such things as the basis of morality, but will also apply what we learn to some contemporary issues. We’ll also be focusing on writing, and students in this course will be evaluated on the basis of a number of small writing assignments each term.
