Another title: Introduction to Philosophy, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
A broad selection of the main problems in philosophy will be considered. For example: How can we know whether anything is right or wrong? How can we know about things we cannot directly observe? Can we know whether there is a God? Is mind in any sense distinct from matter? Original texts of both classical and contemporary thinkers are employed. No prerequisite. 3 hours.
