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.

Cosmological Arguments
Two of the questions I want to discuss are "why should we suppose the beginnings of existence need to be cause," and " can the universe just be there." These two questions kind of go hand and hand with each other. Everyone in the world is looking for a cause, especially in Biology. In biology, everything is lied out there are no questions because everything and everyone can be traced back to there descendants. Biology is the opposite of philosophy where philosophy is all about the unknown and questions. Biology is all about tracing back every bit of existence and finding out the cause of everything. Being a biology major and taking philosophy I have seen the huge differences between each of them every time I go to class.
