An Introduction to Philosophic Inquiry 2

Philosophy 102 explores three primary subject areas of philosophy: the nature of reality (metaphysics), the study of knowledge (epistemology), and the question of God (the philosophy of religion). Resources include Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Materialism, Locke, Hume, Kant, Eastern, Indigenous Peoples’ and Feminist perspectives, among others, both classical and contemporary. Some of the issues explored are the question of transcendent reality, the mind-body problem, materialism, free will and determinism, the role of mind and perception in knowing, the central arguments for and against the existence of God, and the role of religious experience.
