Thinking and Doing

Catalog description

When doing philosophy we think about the world and about ourselves in it. This includes our thoughts about the world as well as our actions and interactions with it and one another. In this course, we will consider related foundational philosophical contributions on the nature of human thought, action, and their connection. In doing so we will attend closely to key elements of the practice of philosophical thinking and writing, including standards of logical argumentation and of academic philosophical writing. We will dedicate ourselves particularly to developing and honing our own philosophical writing skills in accordance with these standards. 001664
