Investigates many of the major philosophical themes within the Western tradition. Among these themes will be the nature of the self, free will and determinism, the nature of mind and consciousness, the ground and nature of human knowledge, the nature of human values, ethical theory, aesthetic value, and the nature of society in relation to the individual. Other topics include the nature and methods of the sciences, philosophical psychology and the theory of language.
