PHIL 1012 Truth, Reality, and the Good Life: Introduction to Philosophy

Are ghosts real? How about God? Is science our only source for truth? What about common sense? How are emotion and reason related? Is a life of duty better than one of pleasure? Is there a “best” kind of life? Typically, differences among people are rooted in deeper concepts -- such as truth, reality, and happiness. Philosophy has developed questions and (some) theories about what these concepts mean and how they might apply to everyday life.

Upper Level Courses

PHIL 4220/5220
PHIL 4000/5000

PHIL 4220/5220- Art, Beauty, and Aesthetic Criticism: Philosophy of Art

What makes something a work of “art”? How should art be interpreted or evaluated? Can we really debate about “taste” or beauty? Why do we call some people "artists" or some experiences “aesthetic"? Where does creativity come from? This course investigates such questions, offering a range of historical and contemporary answers, and examines the social, political, and philosophical roles of art in contemporary society. Methods of engaging these questions may include multimedia technologies as well as individual and group field trips to local art venues. Cross-listed with PHIL 5220 and HUMN 5220.
