No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1973–74 to 1977–78 (before that, 1971–72 to 1972–73 used the number for Fundamentals of Social-Political Thought); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The course is intended to introduce engineering, mathematics and science undergraduates to some of the sciences of man (anthropology, sociology and psychology). The course will be conducted on the basis for both lecture and tutorial hours. Lectures will be under the supervision of a single person responsible for the conduct of the course. He may invite participation from the interested disciplines as required. 3 hours per week

Another title: Fundamentals of Social-Political Thought, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
The central question of the course is: What reasons can I have for acting on the issues which will face me as a member of society? Such problems as divorce, democracy, socialism, the Bomb, and international politics will be critically discussed in the light of readings from both classical and contemporary philosophers. 2 hours per week (Engineering K divisions only).
