It isn't easy to say what exactly philosophy is, how to study it, or how to 'do' it. So why has it long been one of the central subjects in Western academics? It is difficult to categorize philosophy because philosophizing makes up so much of what we do in life - there is no escaping it for anyone who want to think clearly or think about important subjects. This 14-week course introduces you to what philosophy is about, why it is important, and all of the major disciplines typically covered by philosophy: logic, aesthetics, ethics, epistemology, and more.
