PHL 240 - Knowledge and Reality

3 credits
Introduction to two areas of philosophical inquiry, the study of knowledge (epistemology) and the study of the nature of reality (metaphysics). Both historical and contemporary ideas on these subjects may be examined. Although these two specialized areas are often separated in contemporary philosophy, we will find that historically they are often linked in substantial ways.
