PHI 231 Big Questions: Introduction to Philosophy

3 hours 

This course introduces some of the big philosophical questions surrounding individual and society: What can I know for certain? Who am I? Is morality relative to culture? Does God exist? What is justice? Why be good? By way of answering these questions, students examine arguments about knowledge and belief, the nature of reality, freedom, ethics, aesthetics, personal identity and social justice.
