| Description: | Philosophy, or the love of wisdom, begins when people wonder. It begins when, instead of looking at things from a practical perspective, we wonder about why things are the way they are and not some way different. Most cultures have asked these kinds of questions and have offered systematic explanations to try to answer them. In this course, we will consider questions regarding the nature of reality, what it means to live a good life, and what should be our human relation with the world from the perspective of different philosophical traditions from around the world. We will cover Confucianism, Buddhism, Bantu philosophy, Greek philosophy, and indigenous philosophies from the Americas. The course aims to cultivate students' sense of wonder by considering the way things could be from different world perspectives. |
