PHIL 330 - KNOWLEDGE AND REALITY

Hours: 5
This course is an introduction to metaphysics and epistemology. The course is centered not on particular philosophers from history, but rather on various key issues in metaphysics and epistemology. Topics in metaphysics to be discussed may include Platonism and nominalism, the ontological status of numbers, identity, free will, modality, and cosmology. In the epistemology section of the course we will cover such questions as the nature and possibility of knowledge, the various kinds of knowledge, the reliability of perception, memory, and testimony, and the nature of justification. Competence and familiarity with these issues is essential for a well-rounded philosophical education. Course Website.
