PHIL 4440 - Knowledge and Rationality
Humans claim to know many things but what does this knowledge come to and, indeed, can we know that we know anything at all? Most agree that knowledge is more than “mere belief” - it requires “justification.” This course looks at traditional and contemporary theories of justification and asks the question “Can our commonsense views of knowledge and rationality survive in light of our contemporary scientific understanding of the nature of knowers?”
Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: One course in philosophy.
When Offered: Spring term odd-numbered years.
Credit Hours: 4
