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.

Over spring break I had the opportunity to travel to Breckenridge Colorado and go snowboarding. When I landed in denver I saw an immense amount of homeless or traveling people, and the first thought that came to my mind was what is the purpose of life. Many of these people had nothing, had no idea where they were going, and no resources to support themselves, they were just merely passing life by. Seeing these people and all that they lost made me really think about how you really must seize every opportunity that is presented in front of you, because people dont realize how quickly their lives can pass them bye.
