Philosophy courses cover a diverse group of questions and topics, spanning from classic investigations into the nature of reality, truth, and morality, to contemporary inquiries into freedom, identity, and justice. \u00a0Philosophy courses place significant emphasis on the justification for holding one particular view or position over another.<\/p>\n
The department\u2019s entry level classes provide students with a foundation for more advanced courses, whether in Philosophy or other disciplines. \u00a0PHIL 1301 introduces the basics of argument and the central areas of philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. PHIL 2306 covers the three main branches of ethics: metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics. \u00a0The Philosophy department has also developed several sections of our Introduction and Ethics courses with unique focuses on social justice, business, sexuality, or art for students specializing in those areas or with those particular interests.<\/p>\n
