Study Notes

Introduction to Ethics and Philosophy

Philosophy is a vast field, but it generally tackles big questions that science often can’t definitively answer. It encourages critical thinking, questioning assumptions, and building reasoned arguments. You'll encounter major branches like:

  • Metaphysics: What is reality? Does God exist? What is the nature of time?
  • Epistemology: How do we know what we know? What is truth? Can we ever truly know anything?
  • Ethics (Moral Philosophy): How should we live? What is good? What is justice?
  • Logic: The study of valid reasoning. How do we construct sound arguments?
  • Aesthetics: What is beauty? What is art?
