学習の成果 1. Learn the basics of logical thinking and become proficient in applying it.
2. Understand several representative problems in contemporary Anglo-American philosophy (analytic philosophy) and
become capable of explaining them.

授業の目標・概要等 The learning objectives of this course consist of two pillars. The first pillar is to acquire the skill of thinking philosophically.
Philosophy covers a wide range of topics, some of which overlap with religion, while others overlap with science. When compared to other fields, a significant characteristic of philosophy is the emphasis on "thinking as slowly as possible" when delving into issues. This entails critically examining things that are commonly taken for granted using one's own rational capacity. Philosophy has been practicing this approach for a long time, resulting in the accumulation of various techniques for it.
The second pillar of this course is to engage with specific philosophical problems and to undergo training in philosophical thinking. What truly exists in this world? Is absolute certainty possible? What is the meaning of life? These questions provide excellent material for honing philosophical thinking. By using the thoughts of past philosophers as clues and applying the techniques learned in the first pillar, let's try to express our own thoughts on these important but difficult questions.

メッセージ The usefulness of philosophical thinking techniques isn't limited to just pondering philosophical questions. In fact, there are many everyday situations where philosophical thinking can be helpful. When you feel like you're not quite on the same page as your friends during a conversation, sense something amiss while reading articles or books, but can't quite put your finger on it, or when you want to carefully consider and understand each step before making an important decision, philosophical thinking methods come in handy. Let's use this course as an opportunity to peek into the world that opens up when we take a moment to think a little more slowly about things than usual. Please bring your laptop to class.
