Sebastian Guerra-Mondragon
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.

Rationalism (repost)
Descartes was the father of Rationalism which believes in human reason to be the most valuable source of knowledge. I agree with descartes because rationalism uses the abstract principles of logic and pure reason to then be able to learn and interpret knowledge. Not like epistemology which is concerned with the nature of knowledge, Rationalism allows for us to make judgment and analysis.
