In this interactive session, we will try to understand what philosophers do—what sorts of questions preoccupy them, and how they go about answering these questions. What is the nature of reality? What does it mean to say that we know something? What is the method of gaining knowledge? Are there limits to how much we can know? What is the best life for a human being? Is there a criterion for distinguishing between right and wrong? and so on. We will also think about how the theories that philosophers have produced in response to such questions have practical relevance for our lives.
