This course explores one big question related to an area of Philosophy.
Philosophy is the subject that specializes in exploring fundamental questions about the world and our place in it. For example: What is reality? What does it mean for me to ‘know’ something? What is reasoning? What is a Mind? Does God exist? How should I live, and who should decide? Philosophical discussion draws on imaginative speculation, scientific evidence, sustained reflection on lived experience, and the different histories, cultural perspectives, and texts that shape current thought. The main aim of this course is to explore a 'Big' question that is decided by the student group. Some examples include: Does God Exist? What does it mean to be human? What is reality? This involves a research-based approach to exploring the various philosophical theories on question and then applying that knowledge to ongoing student-driven discussions. All participants work together to develop collective as well as individual understanding.
