The goals of this course are two-fold: to develop and hone students' analytical skills and to look at a number of the central issues in philosophy. Crucial to doing and understanding philosophy is an ability to present, explain, and evaluate arguments; throughout the course we will refine these abilities. By way of an introduction to a number of core philosophical issues we will take an in-depth look at one of the greatest works of philosophy of all time, Descartes's Meditations on First Philosophy.

Today perhaps more than ever, disagreement is a regular occurrence in our lives. What's particularly concerning is that such disagreement often happens between individuals who are both intelligent and well-informed, and on matters that are of great importance. I believe that eating meat is morally permissible, but a colleague of mine thinks it isn't. When this happens, what should I do?
