Student Outcomes
Students will be able to: • Understand and summarize a range of philosophical texts in metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. • Identify philosophers' answers to questions such as "Does God exist?" "Is the world as it appears?" "Are we free?" • Explain, using basic logic concepts, how philosophers argue for their answers to these questions. • Critically evaluate the arguments philosophers and others (e.g., me, other students) give. • Demonstrate your grasp of the above in reading responses, papers, exams, and discussion, at a level appropriate for a 100-level course.
