In this class we will ask ‘what is philosophy?’ in the hopes of defending the importance of this discipline for the individual and society. In this endeavor we shall trek through the history of philosophy while unpacking some of the major issues and problems in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, logic and politics. Furthermore we will address the perennial problems of the good life, personal identity, authenticity and social responsibility.

Philosophy! It's Everywhere!
I was at church today and my pastor told everyone at the end of his sermon that we had homework. Our homework was to think about why we are Christian. Immediately, I attempted to decipher why I am a Christian and I could not find my answer in a matter of seconds. Is it because this is what I know? I was raised to be Christian? Am I Christian? I just started thinking, then going back, I remembered Philosophy class in the first week or so, and decided to share this on the blog. But in all honesty, why do we believe what we believe?
