PHI109

This introductory course in philosophy will tackle various puzzles and paradoxes that arise out of our everyday concepts and beliefs. Some questions we might explore: Is time travel possible? Is it permissible to kill one person to save 10? 100? 1000? If you were to split like an amoeba, would either of the resulting persons be you? What is the distinction, if any, between killing and letting die? What should we think when somebody says, 'Everything I say is a lie'? RSAP, Offered occasionally.
