Philosophy: Epistemology, Ethics & Existentialism
An introduction to philosophy that teaches students to reason critically, ask good questions and find the courage to think differently.
Philosophy: Epistemology, Ethics, and Existentialism (Grades 8 and above)
What is the meaning of life? What makes something “good” and other things “bad”? How can I be sure of the things I know? How do I know that existence isn’t just a dream?
This course offers an introduction to philosophy and specifically epistemology and early modern metaphysics.
Who am I? What makes a good life? What is my role in society? Philosophy and the content of this course teaches you to think about things, critical reasoning, and to find the courage to think differently and take action.
After a brief introduction, this curriculum follows three branches of philosophy relevant to self-development and growth:
- Introduction to Philosophy
- Epistemology
- Ethics
- Existentialism
The course structure and predicted timeline are meant as a guide but are fully flexible depending on how discussions and debates evolve over the course of the lessons. Because philosophy is a subject with important application in everyday life, good questions that nurture strong discussion will sometimes be prioritized over planned lesson material. The timeline allows for plenty of buffer so that discussions and questions can be indulged.
