Philosophy 102 at the University of British Columbia, Spring 2017
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Introduction to Philosophy II is broadly about \u201cvalue theory,\u201d which includes topics such as ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, and what is the \u201cgood life\u201d for humans. This particular course is focused on asking the question: “Is the unexamined life not worth living, as Socrates claims?” We’ll look at what the “unexamined” and “examined” lives are, according to the ancient Greek philosophy Socrates, and consider the possible value of living the “examined life.” As this can be broadly construed as doing philosophy, we’ll also be looking at the value of philosophy in everyday life.<\/p>\n
