About the Course

This course will introduce you to some of the main areas of research in contemporary philosophy. Each module a different philosopher will talk you through some of the most important questions and issues in their area of expertise. We鈥檒l begin by trying to understand what philosophy is 鈥� what are its characteristic aims and methods, and how does it differ from other subjects? Then we鈥檒l spend the rest of the course gaining an introductory overview of several different areas of philosophy. Topics you鈥檒l learn about will include: Epistemology, where we鈥檒l consider what our knowledge of the world and ourselves consists in, and how we come to have it; Philosophy of science, where we鈥檒l investigate foundational conceptual issues in scientific research and practice; Philosophy of Mind, where we鈥檒l ask questions about what it means for something to have a mind, and how minds should be understood and explained; Political Philosophy, where we'll investigate whether we have an obligation to obey the law; Moral Philosophy, where we鈥檒l attempt to understand the nature of our moral judgements and reactions 鈥� whether they aim at some objective moral truth, or are mere personal or cultural preferences, and; Metaphysics, where we鈥檒l think through some fundamental conceptual questions about free will and the nature of reality. The development of this MOOC has been led by the University of Edinburgh's Eidyn research centre. To accompany 'Introduction to Philosophy', we are pleased to announce a tie-in book from Routledge entitled 'Philosophy for Everyone'. This course companion to the 'Introduction to Philosophy' course was written by the Edinburgh Philosophy team expressly with the needs of MOOC students in mind. 'Philosophy for Everyone' contains clear and user-friendly chapters, chapter summaries, glossary, study questions, suggestions for further reading and guides to online resources.

This is a great course to start to learn about philosophy. It has truly made me think about many things and how my faith in God and the teaching of Jesus Christ is strengthened during the course

It is a great curse to beging in the area of philosophy, it shares a few of the major questions of philosophy from it麓s origins from diverse point of views, and the professors are remarkable.
