Have you ever wondered about what it all means? Why we exist? What our purpose is on earth? Or perhaps you've thought about whether you're really free, what the best political system is, or how to make moral decisions? Perhaps you've heard about philosophy and want to get into it, but you're not exactly sure how to do that? Perhaps you have no idea at all what philosophy is, but some of these questions have been bugging you--or perhaps you're naturally curious and reflective. If so, then this course is definitely for you!

This course is perfect for total beginners. It will introduce you to philosophy in engaging and memorable ways! You will learn what philosophy is, how to philosophize, as well as gain specific skills that you can use in other studies, academic fields, or areas of life!
