This half-credit, half-semester course is intended for
junior philosophy majors. Its principal aim is to introduce
students to basic philosophical concepts, distinctions, and
forms of argumentation, and to develop students' abilities
to read philosophical texts critically. After several
initial lectures, class sessions will be devoted to careful
analysis of philosophical texts from various fields and
historical periods. These discussions will be introduced by
group presentations. The course will also provide an
occasion for junior majors to become acquainted and to begin
to develop a community of philosophical inquiry.
