PHIL 101 - Introduction to Philosophy

3 Credit(s).

Introduction to Philosophy emphasizes on the use of critical analysis to examine philosophical issues. Among these issues are the meaning of human existence, the matter of justifying ethical choices, the nature, sources, and limits of human knowledge, the question whether God exists and how one justifies an answer to this question, and different theories about the nature of reality. The course actively encourages the student to recognize the relevance of philosophy to everyday situations and to use critical analysis to attempt to understand and integrate human experiences. Course offered fall, spring, and may be offered during additional sessions.
