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.

Religious stage of life's way
Throughout life there is one question that no one can ever prove and that is "Is there a God." In the religious stage of life people are said to have leaps of faith from the aesthetic or ethical to the religious. My own personal experience is probably similar to most college students. Being grown up in a family who is not big on going to church I have never felt the need to go to church every Sunday. However being grown up in catholic school all of my life I have felt it a commitment to go to church on the holidays. One example of a leap of faith for me was after my car accident I felt closer to God because he spared my life. I felt committed to him on another level therefore i felt obliged to make it up to him by attending church and praying to him. This is my example of my leap of faith.
