| Course Title: Topics in Philosophy: 'Public Philosophy' |
| Start Date: 08/30/2021 End Date: 12/13/2021 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2021 |
| Description: In this course we will take up the question of what it means to investigate a philosophical question in a way that is accessible to a broad audience. Students will develop their own philosophical project in an academically rigorous way and then find a way to present that project outside the classroom. Along the way we investigate the question of what counts as philosophy and why. Students should have extensive experience writing philosophy papers and be ready and willing to work independently on a philosophical topic of their choosing. |
