PHL 401 The Philosopher's Capstone: Living in the World Today
This course explores various philosophies and applies them along with knowledge from the social and/or natural sciences to issues in today’s world. We study and/or develop skills, abilities, theories, or methodologies from philosophy sub-disciplines such as ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics and connect them with skills, abilities, theories, or methodologies of the social and/or natural sciences. Students present original philosophical research via an in-class academic conference. Intended for students who have completed or are currently taking at least one other 300/400-level PHL course and who have completed all components of the Spartan Studies Core other than the Culminating Experience.
