What is the goal and meaning of life? What is the role of happiness, pleasure and utility in life? What is freedom and alienation? What is justice and equality? What is morality? What is the source of our moral decisions, actions and choices? How does reason and passion effect our life? What is good and bad in a moral context? What is the meaning of death in relation to life? What is the role of religion in determining the meaning and goal of life? The course aims to inquire into the answers to these questions through the theories of philosophers such as Aristippus, Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Zeno, Pyrrho, Sextus, Augustinus, Aquinas, Hobbes, Leibniz, Spinoza, Hume, Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Mill, Marx, Heidegger and Sartre. |
