Social Philosophy
Course Description:
This course seeks to understand as well as answer a number of central questions in Philosophy through the writings of contemporary and major Western philosophers as well as through the close study of several fundamental issues that have risen in the course of the development of the Western philosophical tradition, such as free will, our knowledge of the "external" world, our society, socio-political development, and the meaning and value of truth and justice.
