PHI - Philosophy

This course presents a Christian perspective on the biggest questions of philosophy. Students will examine the practical implications of various philosophical approaches to reality, knowledge, and truth in order to formulate answers to these questions based upon biblical principles and personal insight. Students will also explore and evaluate how philosophers from Socrates through post-modernists have wrestled with the big questions.

Students will examine the basis for authority in their lives by considering several worldviews and exploring the components of each while discussing their historical backgrounds. Students will study the implications of each worldview and describe how the Christian worldview can be applied to daily life.
