PHL 401 The Philosopher's Capstone: Living in the World Today

In this course, we explore various philosophies and apply them along with knowledge from the social and/or natural sciences to issues in the world today. We will study and/or develop skills, abilities, theories, or methodologies from areas of philosophy such as ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics and then bring them into conversation with skills, abilities, theories, or methodologies of the social and/or natural sciences. Students will present original philosophical research as part of an in-class academic conference. This class is intended for senior Philosophy majors and for non-majors who have successfully completed at least one previous 300- or 400-level PHL course.
