Показать описание

Want to take this course for credit? Info for Summer 2014 is here:

The aim of this course is to introduce students to philosophy by considering four core areas of philosophy and some central problems in each. These branches are:

Ethics (What is a good life? Why act morally? Is morality relative to cultures? What makes some actions right and others wrong? What is the relation between religion and morality? Is death bad for the one who dies?)

Metaphysics (Do we have free will? Are free will and moral responsibility compatible with a scientific world view? Is there such a thing as an immaterial soul?)

Epistemology (Can we know anything? What is it to know? To know something, must I be certain about it?)

Philosophy of Religion (What sort of being is God supposed to be? Can one prove that God exists? Can one prove that God doesn't exist?).

We will focus on classic more than on contemporary sources, although both will be used.

WOW this was so helpful! A while back I tried to understand this argument but the person explaining it made it to hard for me to understand but this was so much easier to understand. Thank you!

A unicorn is the greatest concievable horse with a single horn. A living unicorn is greater than a non living one. Therefore A unicorn must exist.

I wish khanAcademy would upload courses on philosophy.

The ontological argument defines God to be the greatest conceivable being and purports to prove his existence. If we knew in advance there was a greatest conceivable being, the ontological argument would be unnecessary, as that is what it purports to prove.

thx - very good vid. Am I correct in seeing problem in premisses 5-6 in connection with premisse 1 as justification for premise 6 is the definition?

For God to exist in reality, would he not first exist in the mind? Wouldn't that be the assumption, which would still be either-or, as in the 3rd premise?
