PHIL 1101 — Introduction to Philosophy
Introduction to Philosophy introduces students to five areas of philosophical inquiry and the questions basic to each: ethics (What is the nature of the good?), epistemology (What is the nature of knowledge and truth?), metaphysics (What is the nature of reality?), the philosophy of religion (What are the proofs for God's existence?), and social/political philosophy (What is the nature of a good state?). Using primary texts and class discussion, students will explore the answers philosophers such as Plato, Mill, Kant, Hume, Locke, and Nietzsche have offered.
