PHIL 038 CM - Introduction to Philosophy: Reason and Reality

Philosophy is sometimes divided into “value theory” and “metaphysics and epistemology”. Where value theory considers such topics as ethics and political philosophy, metaphysics and epistemology considers the fundamental nature of reality (metaphysics) and possible means of finding out about that reality (epistemology). This course is a general introduction to philosophy through metaphysics and epistemology. Questions to be considered include: Is the natural world all there is? Do we have free will? Is there a difference between perception and reality? What is consciousness? What is time?
