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.

freedom
When reading Satre I thought about reaching absolute freedom. If we all reached absolute freedom in our lifetime would our own individual lives be the amazing and perfect picture we paint in our minds or would this perfect would actually feel more like a hell on earth? We all would be doing the same thing and everything would be perfect according to how each of us pictures a perfect world but would the repetitiveness and perfection lead us to insanity?
