Curiosity Unleashed: An Introduction to the Great Philosophical Questions

Course Description

Are you someone who loves to question the world around you? Do you find yourself wondering about the deeper truths that shape our existence? If so, Curiosity Unleashed: An Introduction to the Great Philosophical Questions is the course designed just for you. Over the span of the course, you’ll be guided through some of the most profound and timeless questions that have influenced human thought for centuries. Accessible and engaging, this course is perfect for those who are new to philosophy or simply looking to expand their horizons with structured exploration and critical thinking.

Dive into the nature of reality—what does it mean for something to “exist”? Why are some things perceived as real while others are not? Explore these questions and more as we consider different schools of thought, such as materialism, dualism, and idealism. Step into the fascinating realm of epistemology, tackling questions about knowledge and truth. What does it mean to know something? How do we separate justified belief from mere opinion?

But philosophy doesn’t stop at abstract ideas—it’s about the core of human experience. One of the most contentious debates in philosophy centers on free will and determinism. Do we have control over our choices, or are they shaped by external forces? And how do these views influence our ideas of morality, justice, and responsibility? You’ll also deepen your understanding of ethics by investigating the very foundation of morality. What makes something right? The lens of utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics will challenge your thinking as you examine real-world dilemmas.

This course is not limited to these topics; it also reaches into critical areas like the mind-body problem, aesthetics and beauty, and even postmodernism’s impact on our understanding of truth. Whether it’s contemplating justice in society, probing the existence of God, or discovering how philosophy intersects with science, each module is carefully crafted to provide a dynamic and interactive learning experience.

Through thoughtful discussions, engaging readings, and guided exploration of diverse perspectives, you’ll develop critical thinking skills that extend far beyond the classroom. Whether you’ve always been curious about the big questions or you’re looking to broaden your way of seeing the world, Curiosity Unleashed will leave you inspired, informed, and empowered to question everything.
