“All men by nature desire to know,” says Aristotle in his Metaphysics. This famous quote raises numerous questions. What is knowledge? Why do we want it? How do we know when we have it? This course will examine these and related questions, such as “Can we be certain of anything?” “What are the sources of knowledge?” “Is scientific knowledge easier to attain than moral or religious knowledge?”
