Description
Philosophy for Modern Life: Ethics and Logic brings timeless wisdom into today’s complex world. This course introduces key concepts in philosophy—logic, morality, reason, and critical thought—and shows how they help us navigate modern ethical dilemmas, from artificial intelligence and climate change to personal relationships and justice. You’ll explore foundational thinkers such as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Descartes, Kant, and Nietzsche, and apply their theories to questions like: What makes an action right or wrong? What is happiness? What do we owe to others? How do we know what we know? You’ll also examine logical fallacies, argument structure, and decision-making models to sharpen your reasoning and debate skills. Real-life case studies include privacy in digital life, moral relativism vs. universalism, environmental ethics, and the ethics of social media. Whether you’re a student, professional, or curious thinker, this course encourages intellectual self-defense and a deeper sense of clarity, compassion, and curiosity in the way you think and live.
