Teaching Method
Outline:
To understand and examine what philosophy means, whether the truth can be established and whether philosophy can be established as an academic field based on the descriptions contained in introductory books, general introductions to the subject and translated philosophy books, and aim to express your own ideas.
Style:
Mainly lectures conducted by a single professor. When necessary, presentations and debates among the students will be incorporated into the lesson.
Notice:
Make sure to save and arrange the lecture print-outs and materials. This course requires students to read, think and express their own ideas each time.
Participation in the course will also be considered during student evaluations. The course plan may be changed appropriately according to the students' level of understanding and interest.
Students whose scores are less than 60 points may request to take a make-up exam. Students whose acquisition of units is acknowledged as a result of the make-up test will receive a score of 60 points.
It is recommended that students read the text and materials used during the course in advance when studying at home.
