This course explores the nature of thought and the questions behind how humanity got to be the way it is and how it might be made better if we were to change it. Ultimately, to study philosophy is to study the nature of being and to determine our place in the world.
In this course, students learn of the major movements and thinkers in the history of philosophy. Through reading, reflection, and discussion, students also come to form their own philosophical view and are challenged to articulate it to themselves and each other.
