This course provides an introduction to philosophy, the field which lies at the heart of all academic inquiry. The course will explore the big questions, including ones we encounter in everyday life (e.g. What do I owe to other people?), ones that are part of philosophical traditions (e.g. Am I as free as I believe?), and ones that are important to other academic fields (e.g. Why should I trust scientific knowledge?). Question asking, critical inquiry and participation in discussion are essential features of this course.
