“Philosophy,” according to Socrates, “begins with wonder.” In this course, we will survey fundamental metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical issues raised by this “story that began with wonder,” starting with the quest of the ancient Egyptians, Indians, and Chinese and then moving on to the ‘Big Questions’ asked by the ancient Greeks, medieval Christians, and other modern and contemporary Western thinkers.
Don't miss the first annual Public Law Lecture in partnership with the Christian Legal Fellowship. Constitutional lawyer and professor André Schutten will speak on “Canadian Law for the Public Good: Reforming the Moral Foundations of Our Legal System.” The Christian worldview has contributed greatly to the Western legal tradition, yet this deep connection is facing critical fractures, requiring thoughtful Christian engagement in the legal academy, the courts and beyond. By heeding the lessons of the past and seizing today’s opportunities, Christians can enter the vocation of law with hopeful resolve and missional calling.![]()
