This course covers 10 philosophical themes: The first 4 themes begin with the existential attitude of wonder, proceeding to the philosophical quest for truth, before analysing the subject who does this inquiring, the human being, and the knowledge and education required for such an investigation.
The remaining 6 themes: purpose, desire, freedom, being with others, science, and the present to the future, build on the first four to provide a holistic and unified understanding of our lives and the question of what it means to be human.
A few of the themes included in the course are given below:
Wonder, Truth, Human Being, Knowledge & Education, Purpose, Desire, Freedom, Being with Others, Science & The Future, The Examined Life
Academic topics and content are covered using contemporary and topical examples, designed to be easily understandable while thought provoking.
