    Description
    A theoretical and practical treatment of the types and problems of philosophy is studied with particular concerns for issues confronting the modern age. Included are studies relating to the value systems found in the intellectual, religious, ethical and political areas of man's development, as well as the sources and limits of knowledge, and the nature of reality. Emphasis is placed through the course on the art and science of logic, but particularly explored in the second unit where the art of critical thinking is stressed.
