Course Description

A probing of fundamental philosophical questions, such as: Are there rational grounds for the existence of God? Can the notion of God be reconciled with the presence of evil? How do we know what we know? What is a cause? Could there be disembodied thoughts? Is human behavior free or is it determined? Are there objective grounds for values? What makes a society just? What counts as a good explanation? The specific questions for extended study are selected by the instructor.
