(EAST, SAST)
SELF, TRUTH, & THE GOOD LIFE IN WORLD PHILOSOPHIES: In this class, we will critically engage with the key ideas of significant philosophers from a variety of world traditions, carefully considering and critically analyzing their views on some of the fundamental questions of philosophy. Who am I? What really exists? What is knowledge - and how can I get it? How should I live? At the same time, we will engage with the larger questions of cross-cultural philosophy. How should we approach different philosophical traditions? What conclusions follow for the pursuit of wisdom? [AH, GE, W]
