Objectives On completing this subject students should have a better understanding of the nature of philosophical discourse, and have acquired the conceptual foundations for further study in the subject. They should also have developed an enhanced competence in both reading and writing text in which the presentation of a rigorously argued and coherent case for some point of view is developed.
Synopsis This subject comprises two components: (i) `Introduction to logic', an elementary course in symbolic logic, and (ii) `Metaphysics', a course which introduces philosophical problems about time, causality, and freedom.
