    Description
    A careful and critical examination of some of the "Great Questions" philosophers have pursued from ancient times to the present concerning the nature of reality, knowledge, and value. Some of these include: What is real? What is human nature? Do we have free will? Does God exist? What can we know? How should we act? What is the ideal community? And, what is the nature of truth? Course also includes how to think philosophically.
