Скачать или смотреть Fundamentals of Philosophy: Spring 2026: Module 1: Metaphilosophy

This lecture provides a framework for our readings for the week and an introduction to the topic of philosophy itself. We look at the metaphilosophical question, "what is philosophy," through three lenses - the Beardsleys' lens of conceptual analysis, Bertrand Russell's lens of value theory or axiology, and the existential Socratic lens of philosophy as a lived practice. We'll also look at the western philosophical tradition and what it excludes and provide a brief preview of topics to come in future modules.
