PHIL 1000 Classic Thinkers F,W (3-0) [0.50]

This course will deal with enduring philosophical questions through an exploration of primary texts in the history of philosophy. Topics covered may include the nature of knowledge and the different types of knowledge, the relationship between the mind and the body, and the nature of good and evil. Texts and topics will vary with the instructor; students are advised to consult the Philosophy department's website: http://www.uoguelph.ca/philosophy/.

After a multi-year process involving the formulation of Learning Outcomes and extensive consultation with the department's students and faculty, we recently secured approval for a major revision to our undergraduate curriculum—a revised slate of courses, and new requirements for the Major, Minor and Area of Concentration. The changes are effective Fall 2017 (although students have the choice, when applying for graduation, whether to do so under the new program requirements or the ones in force when they started their degree).

Dear Colleagues,

Conference travel funding

The Department has some funds it can use to support students travelling to give talks at professional conferences. The process has two steps: you apply first to the College then after you have received their decision you apply to the Department for any additional funding that you need.
