PHI 222 Modern Philosophy
Introduces the central conceptual issues that define Western Philosophy in the modern era through exposure to the historical context that gave rise to the "New Science," as well as significant schools of thought that arose during the 17th and 18th Centuries. Rationalism, Empiricism, Idealism, and the Kantian Revolution with its aftermath will be addressed as the course explores questions of causality and necessity, appearance and reality, faith and reason, and the nature of mind.
