This course is an introduction to some of the key themes and
problems in philosophy. We will be examining questions such as: How
can we know? What kind of things are you and I? What is the relation
between the mind and the body? Do we have free will? Does God exist,
and are there any good arguments either for or against His
existence? In this course we will consider these and related
questions by reading some central historical and contemporary texts,
with a view to developing an appreciation for the nature of
philosophical questions and the methods philosophers use to tackle
them.
