SE3: Intro to Philosophy
Aristotle famously stated that philosophy begins in wonder. And that seems right—maybe you’ve wondered, why be moral? If you can behave immorally without fear of consequences? That’s one sort of wonder anyway.
Course Overview
Aristotle believed the philosophical life as one of inquiry and reflection. In this course we will be reading some great philosophers through history and getting oriented to some perennial philosophical problems. Think of this course as a thoughtfully guided tour. You will be glad to have become acquainted with the figures we will be studying and the problems that concerned them.
