PHIL 325
Metaphysics
What is time? What is causation? What is it for an object to have a property? Do abstract entities exist? Do humans have free will? Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that searches for answers to such fundamental questions, exploring some of the deepest and most challenging puzzles about the nature of reality. In this course you will investigate such topics carefully, drawing on both historical and contemporary sources.
