Comparative Philosophy

X11 (3 semester units in Philosophy)

This course examines some fundamental philosophical questions from a variety of perspectives, including classical Western philosophy, Eastern and Western religious traditions, and specific cultural viewpoints, including feminist, Native American, and African thought. The course is not intended as a survey of these various philosophical systems, but rather as an introduction to basic themes in ethics, epistemology, and political and social philosophy. You examine first how these themes have been defined in Western philosophy and then how they have been approached in other systems of thought.
