In this course, we will attempt an examination of the human person; we will also examine the ways in which philosophical questions are asked and answered.
Five questions will help focus our examination:

  • Are human beings material beings, or spiritual beings, or somehow both?
  • Are we capable of free choice or are we fundamentally determined in what we do?
  • Does human life have an ultimate meaning or purpose?
  • How should we think philosophically about our death and the possibility of life after death?
  • What is the nature of human community?
