Unit Description

This unit examines humanity's attempt to discover the nature of reality and of our knowledge of it beginning with the Ancient Greeks. The questions raised by the Greeks and later philosophers include: Can we trust our senses? Can we distinguish between illusion and reality? What kinds of things exist? Are change and time real? Are our wills free as they seem to be?
