Free course from MIT on edX starting in October - Introduction to Philosophy: God, Knowledge and Consciousness This course will focus on big questions. You will learn how to ask them and how to answer them. ABOUT THIS COURSE This course has two goals. The first is to introduce you to the things that philosophers think about. We will look at some perennial philosophical problems: Is there a God? What is knowledge, and how do we get it? What is the place of our consciousness in the physical world? Do we have free will? How do we persist over time, as our bodily and psychological traits change? The second goal is to get you thinking philosophically yourself. This will help you develop your critical reasoning and argumentative skills more generally. Along the way we will draw from late, great classical authors and influential contemporary figures.
