Synopsis

What is real? How can we know what is real? How might we live a real life? These 3 fundamental questions cover the traditional and interrelated philosophical branches of metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. Here they are explored through readings of 3 pairs of authors and texts: Plato\x27s Sophist and René Descartes\x27s Meditations on First Philosophy (what is real?), David Hume\x27s An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding and Immanuel Kant\x27s Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics (how can we know what is real?), and Friedrich Nietzsche\x27s essay \x26#34;Schopenhauer as Educator\x26#34; and Hannah Arendt\x27s essay \x26#34;Labor, Work, and Action.\x26#34; (how might we live a real life?). Each chapter introduces basic philosophical problems, concepts and methods of philosophical inquiry, orienting readers to key philosophical texts and making those texts transparent, so that they can answer the three questions for themselves.
