PHL 230 METHODS OF PHILOSOPHICAL INQUIRY
What exactly do philosophers do? What makes a particular way of inquiring philosophical? And what ethical, political and philosophical questions, problems, challenges and advantages do different methods have? This class will critically examine different methods of philosophical inquiry, both orthodox and heterodox, to address such questions. Students will engage with these methods through texts that describe and/or embody them, and through assignments that offer opportunities to enact different methods.This class is required for philosophy majors and recommended for any students interested in taking upper-level philosophy courses.
