PHIL 300: Epistemology

We will examine basic questions about the nature, source(s), and extent of human knowledge.

Main Topic for Term II AY 08-09: Skepticism.

Texts: I have decided go “bookless.” All readings for the course will be on Moodle.

Requirements: We will be writing a “dissertation” on Skepticism. Each of student will write a chapter. I will write the introduction, assign readings that will be helpful (I hope)—given the direction the class in taking, and present certain material in lectures. Chapters can be historical or contemporary. Grades will be determined by your contribution to that dissertation. You will be required to make two presentations (25% each) to the class and to both write (25%) and re-write (25%) your chapter of the dissertation.

Just another day in Epistemology class?
