    Description
    This course introduces students to the fundamental problems, theories and methods of philosophy. Topics such as the nature of reality, the sources and limits of knowledge, the nature of right and wrong human conduct, and the central issues of society and politics are examined from classical and contemporary perspectives. Students are encouraged to apply these philosophical perspectives to critically explore their own beliefs. No prior study of philosophy is presupposed.
