Course Syllabus
Abstract
As a special mode of human rationality and creativity, philosophy has considerable intellectual value of its own but also underlies many accomplishments in science, art, religion and social organisation. The course introduces traditional philosophical topics such as logic, metaphysics, epistemology, language, right and wrong, justice and power, and recipes for virtuous life. The discussion centers on questions rather than on prominent figures and eras in the history of philosophy and aims to give a lucid and vivid introduction to complicated topics.
