LEARN HOW WORLDVIEWS
SHAPE IDEAS
The Introduction to Philosophy course invites you to explore life’s biggest questions—about existence, reality, identity, time, ethics, and more. Rather than focusing on just one culture or worldview, this course compares insights from both secular and Christian thinkers across history. As you dive into these foundational ideas, you’ll begin to see how every answer is shaped by deeper beliefs and assumptions.
MULTIPLE VOICES, ONE CONVERSATION
Throughout the course, you’ll engage with the thoughts of influential philosophers, learn the language of logic and reasoning, and reflect on what it means to live a meaningful life. By the end, you’ll not only understand what philosophy is—you’ll begin practicing it in light of faith, culture, and truth.

"PHILOSOPHY IS THINKING HARD ABOUT
SOMETHING AND THINKING WELL."
LEARN TO THINK CRITICALLY ABOUT FAITH, REASON, AND CULTURE
About The Course
This course introduces you to timeless philosophical topics such as being, knowledge, morality, and the nature of the universe. Along the way, you’ll examine the contributions of key philosophers, from ancient thinkers like Plato and Aristotle to modern voices who have shaped today’s worldview conversations.
FROM WORLDVIEWS TO WISDOM
You’ll also gain tools to think critically about the ideas presented and to recognize how culture and worldview influence philosophical claims. Most importantly, you’ll explore how Christianity offers compelling answers to life’s deepest questions—answers rooted not just in reason, but in the revealed truth of God.
The Outcomes
By the end of the Introduction to Philosophy course, you will:
Identify key philosophical questions related to existence, knowledge, morality, and the universe

Recognize the contributions of influential philosophers from various cultures and time periods
Evaluate how different worldviews shape philosophical perspectives and arguments
