We will examine such topics as sexuality, marriage, and procreation with an eye towards how we can be better at being in love. The course generally tries to integrate the analytic approach of philosophy with the imaginative approach of literature, such that what we read (or watch) will put us in a position to help our own thoughtfulness along. administrator Literature love David O'Connor Philosophy Plato Shakespeare Ethics Philip Reed 2008-05-05T23:30:04Z Course text/html http://ocw.nd.edu/philosophy/introduction-to-philosophy-2 This course is designed as a "topics-based" introduction to philosophy. What this means is that instead of working through the history of philosophy focusing on great historical figures and their views on different topics, we will focus on great philosophical topics and look at what historical and contemporary writers have said about them. Topics to be addressed will include the existence of God, the relation between the mind and the body, human freedom, and the foundations of morality. administrator Free Will/Determinism Ethics Existence of God Mind/Body Relations William Ramsey Jennifer Jensen 2008-05-05T23:29:42Z Course text/html http://ocw.nd.edu/philosophy/introduction-to-philosophy-1 The course is intended to introduce you to philosophical questions, to make you aware of how some of history's greatest philosophers have approached those questions and what they have had to say about them, to help you articulate philosophical concerns of your own and, most importantly, to learn how to address them. Among the areas of philosophy will explore this semester are ethics, political philosophy, metaphysics and theory of knowledge. administrator Philosophy Metaphysics Political Philosophy Theory of Knowledge Ethics Introduction to Philosophy Paul Weithman Mark Jensen 2008-05-05T21:25:41Z Course text/html http://ocw.nd.edu/theology/catholic-social-teaching Course Home Page for Catholic Social Teaching administrator 2008-04-09T01:44:02Z Course text/html http://ocw.nd.edu/anthropology/islamic-societies-of-the-middle-east-and-north-africa-religion-history-and-culture This new course offers a panoramic survey of the Islamic societies of the Middle East and North Africa from their origins to the present day.

Only one of the four responses was correct.
