Course Description:
This course will serve as an introduction to some major philosophical texts and questions that have constituted the western philosophical tradition. Such questions may include: What is the nature of the human? What does it mean to be a self? To what extent does the nature of the self depend upon encounters with others and what are the ethical perimeters of those encounters? What is the nature of human freedom? How should we live? How should we approach death? |
