PHIL 102 PU - Foundations in Philosophy

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

In this course, students will gain a greater awareness of the conversation that surrounds some of the most important questions of fact and value that have puzzled and continue to puzzle humankind, questions like: Is there a god, do we survive death, and does morality have a basis in fact? Students will also be asked to contribute something to this conversation: something that is well thought out, reasonably coherent, responsive to what others have said, and reflective of their most authentic selves. Students will be given the tools to do this through an extended discussion of the principles of critical thinking and the philosophical method that they were first exposed to in PHIL 101.

Prerequisite(s): PHIL 101 T.
