This semester I will be teaching a new course - “Intro to Philosophy.” As I continue to teach within the Philosophy department at UC-Colorado Springs, I have greatly enjoyed getting to stretch a bit beyond my training in Religious Studies. The undergraduate introductory course is important for any discipline, where we basically tell our students (most of whom are studying the subject at the college level for the very first time) what this entire enterprise is all about. Is there more to studying philosophy then learning about Plato? Yes. Is it still important to study Plato? Yes. I know that coming from a related but different discipline means that I may bring a different set of questions and priorities to the course, and I think that this will open up for lots of robust discussions with the students during the semester head. I will be posting reflections on this course in the coming months, but I look forward to learning through teaching - it really is the best way to learn!
