这门课的目标有二：首先是介绍“哲学家在想些什么”以及他们“为什么那么想”，这个目标可藉由探索一些经典哲学问题达到，像是“上帝的存在”、“理性与信仰”、“个体同一性与永生”、“自由意志”、“道德责任以及道德行为的准则”等。我们将阅读历史上重要哲学家以及当代哲学家的著作。第二个目标是发展你的哲学思索能力，更广泛的说法是你的思辨能力与论证技巧。

The course has two main goals: First, to give you a sense of what philosophers think about and why. This will be done through consideration of some perennial philosophical problems, e.g., the existence of God, reason and faith, personal identity and immortality, freewill, moral responsibility, and standards for moral conduct. We will draw on readings by important figures in the history of philosophy as well as contemporary authors. The second goal is to develop your philosophical skills, and your critical and argumentative skills more generally.
