VI. Course No. and Title: Humanities 2/ Introduction to Philosophy

Prerequisites: none
VII. Academic Year/Semester Offered: 2014-15/2nd sem.
VIII. Course Description: This course aims at being an introduction to philosophical thinking in general rather than to provide a full survey of philosophical
disciplines, their methods, doctrines and leading ideas. Instead of trying to give a comprehensive account of all possible forms philosophy has assumed
throughout its long history we shall zero in on several characteristic examples through lectures illustrating how classical and modern thinkers formulate
their questions and how they grapple with their issues in contrast to ordinary, religious and scientific consciousness. Consequently, we shall focus on
questions (for instance: Is knowledge possible? Does it come from reason or from experience? What is the ultimate substance of the world? Is it
material or ideal? Are human actions free or determined? Does God exist? Why is there evil? Are moral norms relative or absolute?) as well as on some
specific concepts philosophers use to articulate their experience and the world we live in (being, substance, justice, a priori, a posteriori, contingent,
necessary, empirical, etc.). In addition, the course will provide a preliminary orientation about the notion of philosophical argument, its various forms and
the ways arguments should be analyzed.
IX. Course Credit/Unit: 3 units lecture
X. Course/Subject Outcomes:
(1)to become familiar with major philosophical problems and the methods of dealing them,
