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.

God, Why Did You Do that?
With all the talk about whether or not God exists, I have been thinking. If he/she/it is real then why is there war? Why are there mentally/physically challenged people? The existence of something above us is quite mindblowing. It does call into question on whether God is a person, whether he/she/it is with or without human qualities, is there a beard or sandals, and many more just like in class. I just thought I would bring up the fact that there are imperfect people in the world. They bring up another question. If God made us in his/her/its image, why then are there people who are handicapped or power hungry and what does it say about God's image?
