Synopsis
In Introduction to Philosophy, a nine-hour course, Dr. Bonevac guides us through the major traditions of Western philosophy in eight engaging lectures on ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology. We explore three key ethical frameworksâvirtue ethics, deontology, and consequentialismâbefore tackling fundamental questions about reality, from realism to idealism. The course then examines theories of knowledge, weighing skepticismâs doubt, rationalismâs innate ideas, and empiricismâs reliance on experience. Finally, we consider how these philosophical traditions continue to shape debates about morality, reality, and human understanding today.
