Semester-Long Elective

This seminar will explore Philosophy – literally, ‘Love of Wisdom!’ The course will focus on the four main branches of philosophy: Metaphysics: the study of the physical Universe, and the Nature of Reality. Question: “What is real?” Epistemology: The study of the origin of Truth and Knowledge. Question: “How do we know what we know.” Axiology: The study of the nature of ethics and aesthetics. Question: “Why do we act the way we do”? Logic: The study of the Nature of Reason.” Question: “How can we think rationally”? The course will examine the important historical contributions of Western and Eastern Philosophy, from Ancient (Socrates and Plato) to Modern (Kant, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, MillMill, Marx, and Nagel), to Buddha!
