    Description
    In this basic orientation, students will explore, compare, analyze, evaluate and discuss a variety of principle questions addressed in philosophy, such as: What is the purpose of my existence? Can I know anything with certainty? Do I really have a free will? Can we prove that God exists? Why should I be moral? Whose self-interest counts? Issues covered will encompass relevant philosophical perspectives from Western and other major world cultures, and include contributions of women and minority cultures to the realm of philosophy.
