Description: This course investigates the big questions of philosophy, such as: What is the meaning of life? What can I know? Do I have free will? How do we know we are not living in a computer simulation? Emphasis is on how philosophers go about answering such questions, and how these questions are relevant to our lives. Note: Students may take either Philosophy 101 or PHIL 101H . Duplicate credit will not be awarded.
