This course tackles age-old questions:
What makes someone good or bad?
How do we determine right and wrong?
When, if ever, should we sacrifice personal freedoms?
Can we know anything for certain amid widespread misinformation?
Through collaborative inquiry, you will explore these issues and examine your own and others’ beliefs. You will learn core philosophical skills:
Structuring logical arguments
Identifying and correcting bias and reasoning errors
Engaging with influential philosophers and their ideas.
By developing these habits of critical thinking and reflection, you will cultivate the “love of wisdom” that underpins every field of study and gain tools for living a more informed, ethical life.
