Philosophy is the study of the most general and fundamental features of reality - including ourselves - and the knowledge and beliefs we have about that reality which are embodied in our concepts, theories and practices.Can I know that I'm not trapped inside The Matrix? What makes something the morally right thing to do? Do we have free will? Does God exist? Is the human mind just a lump of grey matter? how to present an effective and rigorous argument; how to develop criticisms of other people's arguments and views; how to explain difficult material clearly and concisely; and how to deal with the fact that on most of the questions in life, reasonable people can believe radically different things.
