PHIL 150 — Intr oduction to Philosophy
Historically, philosophy has been many things. In the context of this course, it is largely a point of view, a way of thinking. This way of thinking approaches life by reflecting upon the ideas that we use to make sense of life. Further, since we have come to see this way of thinking in conjunction with a tradition of literature, and a tradition of concerns. Thus, the aim of an Introduction to Philosophy is to get students to first take up this point of view, and second to see something of the tradition of its literature and concerns. Students take up the point of view by reading, or reading about, specific philosophical works or concerns.
