Philosophy is a discipline that examines the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence.  This course will examine epistemological theories about knowledge and truth, theories of justice and freedom and theories of morality and ethics.  Examining questions in philosophy allows people to question their assumptions and better understand their own beliefs.  You will learn to think in new and meaningful ways.
