The Mind World Relation Philosophy studies foundational questions. The answers to these questions form the framework for our thinking about the nature of the world and ourselves in relation to it. How ought one to live and die? What is the grounding of morality? What are our obligations to the state? What is the relation of the mind to the body? What is the relation of the mind to the world in general? How do we know anything about the world around us? Do we have free will or only the illusion of free will? Is there a rational basis for belief in God? This course will introduce students to philosophical thinking and writing through the close study of a number of classical philosophical texts that take up these questions and reflection on the difficulties that arise in trying to answer them.

What is a Person and Why Do We Care? This is an introductory course in philosophy focusing on questions about persons. What is a person? What makes me the same person over time? How do we know ourselves, and why might that matter? Should I fear death? What does it mean to live a good life? This course will introduce you to views that historical and contemporary philosophers have developed about these questions; even more importantly, it will give you tools you can use to approach these questions in a rigorous and thoughtful way for yourselves.
