課程概述

The purpose of this course is to introduce some famous philosophical topics for non-majors. We plan to cover four of them: 1. Must we be rationally responsible for our beliefs and judgments? 2. How should be our attitude toward death? 3. Do we have free will? 4. Are humans by nature social? 

課程目標
Assiduous and successful execution of the course requirements should allow students to 1. better appreciate the aforementioned topics and explain why they are complicated and difficult to answer; 2. think more abstractly and comprehensively, and indirectly to cultivate writing skills applicable in non-philosophical fields; 3. enjoy the pleasures of thinking.
