PHL 1501 - Mind, Knowledge, and Reality (3)

When Offered: Fall; Spring
GEN ED: Liberal Studies Experience
This course explores some of the central philosophical problems that arise in the study of knowledge. In particular, it will address the following questions: What is knowledge? What are the social dimensions of knowledge? Is knowledge a social construction? How do disciplines outside of philosophy (e.g., psychology and neuroscience) help inform the study of knowledge? We will draw readings from both historical and contemporary writers in philosophy and other disciplines.
