Great Ideas in Philosophy

IHSS-1165

This course invites you into the world of philosophical ideas and reasoning --to join a great conversation that has unfolded since Socrates exhorted people to lead an examined life 2,400 years ago in Ancient Greece. We will explore such issues as whether some ways of acting and living are morally better than others, the relationship that exists between mind and body, and whether philosophy has anything to contribute to ongoing discussions about the existence and nature of God. This course will include both frequent discussion and written assignments and will aim to help you develop your skills in each of these modes of communication. This course is communication intensive.
