This course will cover questions about the place of mind in a world of matter; the nature of free will, and whether it is so much as possible; a variety of questions about knowledge, including self-knowledge; and a number of moral questions, including questions about our responsibility to others less fortunate than ourselves. Readings will be primarily from contemporary philosophers. (Gen.Ed. AL)
There will be no exams; all written work will be in the form of take-home essays. All readings for the course will be available on Moodle.
