Introduction to Philosophy

Philosophy is concerned with the deepest most basic questions about the universe. We’ll concentrate on some fundamental moral and metaphysical questions: What is the right thing to do? Is morality objective? Do we have moral obligations toward people other than those we know and care about? Do we have moral obligations toward future generations? Do we have moral obligations toward animals? Is your mind identical to your brain? What is consciousness? Do we have free will? Does free will matter for morality? What is personal identity?
