Course description:
In this class we will attempt an introductory exploration of philosophy. Our concern lies with how philosophical questions are asked and answered, and with four questions in particular-Does God exist? Is knowledge possible? How are mind and body related? and How might one behave morally? At the end of the semester, we'll read Plato's Meno, in which the characters attempt to answer a few of these questions.
