DESCRIPTION
In this course we will explore four fundamental subjects within systematic philosophy:
1. Logic ("laws of reason"),
2. Epistemology ("theory of knowledge"),
3. Metaphysics ("theory of being"),
4. Worldviews ("life orienting narratives").
Each subject will be structured around a key question:
1. What's the origin and nature of the laws of logic?
2. What's knowledge? How to define this concept?
3. Is there an ultimate ground or first cause of reality?
4. Is it possible to rationally compare different worldviews?
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) awards credits based on the ECTS system. Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
