COURSE DESCRIPTION

The course is designed to encourage students to become self-conscious learners, exploring not only the what, but also the how and why of knowing. The course focuses on the nature of truth and reality and our role in the world each of us has constructed.

Class Objectives

1. To leave the course with more questions than when entering.
2. To question and re-examine “knowledge” and what we perceive as “truth”
3. To realize that there are pluralities of reality.
4. To appreciate that knowledge, debate, pleasure and fun are mutually compatible phenomena.
5. To explore the nature of the individual in relation to others.
