This introductory course will involve students in the analysis and evaluation of primary texts and speculative philosophical questions and theories from primarily the western tradition as well as major eastern traditions from pre-classical times to contemporary. It will enable students to identify diverse multicultural philosophical perspectives in the ageless search of Sophia- wisdom. Critical and creative thinking along with our ability to wonder will be utilized in the areas on metaphysics, ontology, epistemology, and axiology. Students will conduct research using various kinds of primary and secondary sources. This course will promote a deeper understanding of Socratic wisdom (Know Thyself), individually and societally.
