    Description

    In this course the student will examine some of the major philosophical issues dealt with by both philosophers and authors of literature, and they will be encouraged to think critically about these issues. These issues include: What does it mean to learn? Does the world exist as it appears to us? Do minds exist, and if so, how are they related to bodies? Are we free? Are we morally responsible for our actions? Is it ever right to break the law? Does God exist? A multi-cultural approach will be emphasized.
