    Description
    This course is an exploration of philosophy from the Renaissance to the 21st century, including the development of modern scientific processes, phenomenology, existentialism, empiricism, rationalism, justice and so on. Alternatives to Western traditions are also considered. Students will encounter systems of thought coinciding with the rise of science, colonization, industrialization, trade unionism, technology, the climate crisis, and the great concentration of wealth. In this course, we will learn of our intellectual heritage and how it shapes the world in which we find ourselves. (C-ID PHIL 140) (CSU/UC) (AA/AS-3, CSU-C2, IGETC-3B, Cal-GETC-3B)
