| This class aims to introduce students to philosophy as an academic discipline and as a distinctive intellectual and moral attitude towards the world and oneself, one marked by the belief that the use of reason in the search for truth is the most important human activity. We will consider questions such as the relation between philosophy and society, the existence of God, the character of and grounds for human knowledge, and the nature and status of morality. Throughout we will concentrate on close readings of the texts under discussion. Representative readings: Plato, Aquinas, Descartes, Nietzsche. Lecture 3 hours. |
