PHI 236 - Language, Knowledge & Reality

Description
This class is an advanced, but accessible, introduction to two central branches of philosophy: epistemology and metaphysics. Epistemology, loosely characterized, is the study of knowledge, evidence, and rationality. Metaphysics, even more loosely characterized, is the study of the general features of reality. We’ll work through some of the central topics that fall under these two studies, paying careful attention to how foundational questions about the nature of language interact with questions in epistemology and metaphysics.
