Course description

This course is about knowledge and reality. We will look at questions such as: Is anything known? Can we know anything independently of sense perception? Can we perceive mind-independent objects? Is there a mind-independent world? What are people? What is existence? What is causation? Questions will be examined from the perspectives of a variety of traditions, e.g., Greek and Hellenistic philosophy, modern philosophy, classical Indian philosophy, idealism, pragmatism, analytic philosophy and European philosophy.
