Philosophical Methods
PHIL200 FA
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. The course will also provide an occasion for junior majors to become acquainted and to begin to develop a community of philosophical inquiry.
MAJOR READINGS
To be announced.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Weekly exercises and exams. One final paper with required re-write.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
Junior philosophy majors are expected to take this course, but others--including sophomores highly likely to major in philosophy--may be admitted, by permission of the instructor, if space permits. Students admitted to
the major may acquire permission
forms from the Philosophy Department Administrative Assistant; others must see the instructor.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed
Drop/Add form to the Registrar's
Office.
