PHIL 000/3104 - Metaphysics and Epistemology (3 cr.)
Description
What is the fundamental structure of reality? What is reality really like? Why is there something rather than nothing? Is there a God? Do human beings have free will? Metaphysics is the study of questions like these. Epistemology is the study of the nature of knowledge. What is knowledge? Do we know anything? If so, how can we acquire more of it? In this class we will examine questions like these by reading classic texts both historical and contemporary. Students will be expected to read these texts carefully and charitably, while simultaneously being encouraged to think about them critically so as to draw their own conclusions.
