As the origin of modern science, philosophy is driven by human curiosity. And there's nothing better than being puzzled for the cultivation of curiosity. Hence, in this course, we will be focusing on some of the biggest puzzles that baffle philosophers for centuries. We will be discussing and inquiring the challenge of skepticism, the mysterious relation between mind and body, the problem of free will, the meaning of life and other philosophical problems. The aim of the course is that by the end of the semester, students will be capable of formulating these puzzles, and be well motivated to answer them.
Each class will be divided into two parts, understanding and discussing. In the understanding part, students are to be introduced to some philosophical problem; In the discussing part, under the guide provided by the teacher and his assistant, grouped students are to discuss the problem learned in the first part with each other, and each group is required to summarize the discussion and share it with other groups.
