Back to teaching next week. I appreciate how ASU’s catalog describes PHI 101: “explores issues that philosophers have traditionally considered, including morality, reality, and knowledge.” Philosophy has always studied these basic questions:
- How do we know?
- What is real?
- What is good?
Not only that, you can piece together a given philosopher’s system by knowing how they answer the first question. Class includes looking at examples from the history of philosophy while also wrestling with these questions ourselves.
