Corequisites
ENGL 101 & Mathematics 101.

This course is intended to serve as an introduction to Philosophy as an academic field of study, an art of personal reflection, and a tool for dialogue. In this light, it examines a few perennial philosophical questions and the major arguments and positions which fall under these, questions which fall under these, questions such as: Who am I? What is a person? Are we really free? Is there life after death? What sort of meaning is possible in life? Films and literature may be utilized to reveal how the art of philosophical reflection extends beyond canonical philosophical texts. Emphasis will be placed on critical justification and evaluation.
