Philosophy. Philosophy, literally “love of wisdom,” is the study of humanity’s relationships to the world and to each other. Those who take philosophy classes are engaged in asking, answering, and debating about answers to life’s most basic questions.
Politics majors should choose the plan of study most appropriate to their situation and use it as a general guide to completing the degree requirements for a BA in political science.
W Politics majors must acheive intermediate communication skills in a foreign language, meaning they must earn a C or better in two FLS courses at the 200 level. For those who have not mastered the elementary levels of their chosen foreign language, this will mean they must take the 101 and 102 courses before completing the requirement.

1 The relationship between logic and ethics is one of the basic and most essential questions of classical philosophical analysis. Since the time of the Pythagoreans, the fundamental unity of the two – whether by means of vague intuition, an elaborate conceptual scheme, or even a carefully crafted lifestyle – has led philosophers to identify truth and virtue. In his critical philosophy Kant put this unity of truth and virtue to extensive and rigorous trial to determine what conditions, if any, allow us to intelligibly answer the question of how knowledge, or an obvious inner belief turns into a necessary motivation of the will, or, in other words, how belief can be interpreted as both an intelligible object and a source for action. In 1790 Kant gave his conclusive answer to this question in Critique of Judgment, which was an attempt to reconcile, in terms of aesthetics, a set of contradictions that arose between his 1st and 2nd Critiques, i.e. between his logical and ethical doctrines, to be discussed below.
In his 1906 “Basis of Pragmaticism in the Normative Sciences” Peirce defines aesthetics (or esthetics, as he preferred to call it) as a theory aimed at describing the deliberate formation of “a habit of feeling which has grown up under the influence of a course of self-criticisms and of hetero-criticisms” (EP2: 378).
According to the post-Bain theory, the cognitive process has context, direction and purpose. Thought arises in one set of circumstances and terminates in another. It starts from a doubt and ends in a belief, the essence of which is a habit or rule of action.
Typically, 100 and 200 level courses are for beginners, people who have taken few or no philosophy courses.
Description: Introduction to Philosophy is always an introductory course. Most of the time it is a “survey” course, meaning that you read lots of smaller pieces from a variety of different philosophers. Sometimes they are presented chronologically, starting with the Classical Greeks and moving forward. Most of the time, however, they are presented thematically, dividing the philosophers into subject areas such as ethics, the study of reality (metaphysics), philosophy of religion, and the study of knowledge (epistemology). Typically, you will read selections outside of class, comment on them for homework by either submitting questions or writing reactions, and talk about the reading in class. The instructor will usually go through the text in class, sometimes with the book in front of all of you, and sometimes by writing lecture notes on the board. These classes almost always have at least one, but more often two, larger papers to write for a midterm or final assignment.
The critical thinking class will probably focus more on everyday arguments in books, newspapers, and on the internet. In some schools, though, these names are interchangeable. If you take one philosophy class at all, this is probably the one to take, but keep in mind, this is not an introduction to the subject of philosophy.
It also illustrates the wide range of philosophical questions that can be asked, revealing that philosophy can apply to any situation or subject area. Introduction to Philosophy is almost always a general education requirement, so its skill set is usable in every class you will take in school.
I read this somewhere a couple of years back. I don't exactly remember it but it was something to the effect of, we like the feeling of being in love so much that we trick ourselves into thinking we love the person. Is this ever heard in philosophy?
I'm of course not saying there are no russian philosophers in general. But russian philosophers are not as widely known and read as german or french or english ones. Lenin and Bakunin are read, but that has usually more to do with political science than philosophy.
I have read that for something to be good or evil, it has to be the result of a choice. If we take choice out of the equation, and what's left is random probability and physics.
I was reading about Russell's Paradox earlier today. I don't really understand the depths of set theory or formal logic, so I tried to comprehend it using natural language terms. Then I got to think about something that I'm asking in the title of this thread.
What are the implications of God's omniscience for randomness? For example, could God create a truly random number generator, such that even He doesn't know what number it will generate? I know nothing about quantum physics, other than that it's supposed to be probabilistic rather than determinate; in this case, does he know the outcomes of quantum events (I am using that phrase not really knowing what that means; I apologise if it's completely incorrect to use it!)?.
Arguments supporting the illusion of the self and that no one technically exists?
I’ve been watching Shtisel and there is a scene that made me feel like the ultimate goal of forgiveness is not for the person asking it to get some sort of relief. Instead it is to heal the person they have wronged.
