| Objectives of the Course | Course aims to provide the students to be able to define “philosophy” as a field with its sub-fields, analyze its concepts and problems philosophically, identify the correlations between different branches of philosophy and to critically evaluate concepts and issues. |
| Contents of the Course | 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. We shall focus on questions such as, 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? |
