Questions about the world that you might have thought of, such as “Is the world finite or infinite,” “Does the world have a purpose or meaning,” “Is the human world the same as the animal world” are questions that have been considered by philosophers. In this course, you will learn how to think philosophically while touching on the history of philosophy, using the concept of the “world” as a keyword. It has long been treated as a fundamental problem in philosophy. By thinking about the ground on which the human being rests, you will re-examine what you have taken for granted so that you can think deeper and explore other possibilities.
This course is mainly a lecture style, but rather than one-way communication from the teachers, I will provide time for discussion and give the opportunity of presentation by applicants.
This course is designated to achieve educational goals 1, 2, and 3 of General Basic Subjects.
