The module provides an overview of the main fields and the core problems of present-day Anglo-Saxon philosophy by discussing classical and more recent theories of knowledge, mind, reality, truth, meaning, rationality, freedom, responsibility, and moral norms. Apart from presenting an expansive cursory map of the discipline, the discussions also offer an introduction to the practice of philosophy, illuminating its relation to other knowledge forms such as common sense, religion, and science.
