Humanities and Fine Arts 191HFA10 - FYS- Philosophy and Film

This one-credit discussion-based course will serve as an introduction to major philosophical questions and critical thinking. The course is designed around five distinct units corresponding to important areas of philosophy. We will explore questions about skepticism, artificial intelligence, living a moral life, personal identity, the nature of God and how we can find meaning in the world. We will use a combination of film and text to explore each question, both in small groups and in class-wide discussions. We will meet once a week for a one hour period.
