1.Theories of Reality: Which metaphysical viewpoint - Materialism, Idealism, and Dualism - do you most agree with and why? What is ultimately ″real,″ the stuff we can see and touch (matter), or ideas/spirits/forms (idealism)? Or, is it some combination of the two (dualism)? 2.Free Will - Are we free in a metaphysical sense? Or are we determined to act as we do? How do you know? Do the laws of nature apply to humans, too? And if so, how can we be free? If we′re not free, what do you make of the intuitive sense we all share that our choices are real? 3.Theories of Knowledge - Can we ever really ″know″ anything for sure? How would you respond to the skeptic who says that real knowledge is impossible? Is certainty possible? If so, which of the various epistemologies (rationalism, empiricism, Kant′s approach, or any of the alternative epistemologies) seems most reasonable to you, and why?
