| Course Objectives: | Our main aim in this course is to introduce you to different fields of philosophy. In this regard, we will survey the texts, from different periods in the history of philosophy, which exhibit contrasting styles of philosophical argument in various sub-fields of philosophy, but are linked by a common theme: valuefree/value-laden distinction (The theme can be configured according to the interests and background of the audience in each term). We will attempt to reveal and understand the role assigned to values in different fields and styles of philosophy: moral philosophy, political philosophy, science/biotechnology, analytical and continental philosophy. |
