> Practically, this course will teach you to approach difficult and unfamiliar material. A philosophical training will be of use in almost any field, helping to distinguish those who know only the skills and training of the field itself and those who are able to adapt and invent new ideas and techniques. Whether working in non-philosophical academic jobs, industry, laj liw, medicine, non-profits, or any other sector, a philosophical education will empower you to navigate your work in a wise and creative manner. Philosophically, this course will transform our understanding of ourselves, the world, and each other. The texts we will read and the questions and answers they pose will speak to questions that are dear to each of us. This is, to me, the most valuable aspect of philosophy: that asking these questions makes you into a different kind of person who, if not more certain about answers, is more humble and wise for the experience of having asked them.
