PHIL 201 Major Issues Philosophy
A thematic approach to major issues in philosophy, this course will survey areas of philosophy such as epistemology, ontology, language, ethics, morality, government, aesthetics, and the philosophy of science, among others. The course focuses more intently on the value and relevance of texts and thinkers, as opposed to studying them primarily in historical context. The course will introduce students to basic concepts in the discipline, and to thought-provoking primary sources from Plato to today. Students will also compare texts to related passages from the Bible, and consider how we read the Bible as a philosophical text.
