What is philosophy and what does it have to tell us about how to live? This unit introduces philosophy by examining some of the most intriguing and exciting philosophical issues in value theory - in particular, aesthetics, political philosophy and ethics. Questions that may be covered in this unit include: What makes things right or wrong? What kind of society do we want? Is war ever justified? Do animals have rights? What is beauty? What is the meaning of life? These questions may be approached from both Eastern and Western perspectives. This unit complements HPA102 but can be taken independently of that unit.
