| Course Description |
Philosophy has been the basis of the natural and social sciences since the time of the ancient Greeks. The study of philosophy can help develop in students self reflective awareness about the different disciplines they are being trained in. Philosophy can enhance our understanding of the modern worldview which is founded upon and inspired by fundamental philosophical insights. In more general terms, philosophy can help develop critical acumen, enhance our power to articulate thoughts clearly and consistently, and to think through issues comprehensively without losing sight of details or the overall picture. The purpose of this course would be less to teach different philosophical theories and more to actually learn how to do philosophy.
