This course is a topical and historical introduction to the discipline and practice of philosophy. Through analysis of texts, discussion, participation, and lecture, the student will gain an understanding of philosophy both as a unique discipline that investigates some of the most profound questions about ourselves and the world, and as a practice that illuminates our scientific, social, and individual existences. This course may not be audited. This course is offered only for students enrolled in GGU Degrees+ programs, in partnership with Outlier.org.
