FYS 1052 - Talking About the Big Questions: Philosophical Dialogues

Hours: 4
In this course, we will consider some core, enduring philosophical questions that are directly relevant for how determining how we should live our lives. We will do so by reading a series of historically significant and contemporary philosophical dialogues. Some of the questions that we will consider are; does the authority of morality depend on a divine entity, what reasons do we have for believing in god, do we have free will, are you the same person as you were in childhood, are there any universal moral truths, what is justice, and why should you be moral?
