This course provides an introduction to western philosophical thought. Students are introduced to the major philosophers, periods, and ideas of western philosophy through reading and discussion of seminal texts. Students learn the foundations of logic and practice constructing logical arguments. Ideas of reality, existence, god, morality, reason, ethics, beauty, and the government will be explored within each of the periods (ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary). Brief non-western philosophical texts about ideas or written during the same period as the main texts understudy will be introduced in class to provide for intercultural dialogue, contextualization, and reflection.

3-semester credits Lecture: Three 50-minute sessions per week for 15 weeks This course, with breaks is assigned to 3 hours weekly for lectures. Students will examine the domains of health: physical, mental, social, and spiritual; explore the impact of religion, spirituality, and ethics within the health care delivery setting; and the role of the health care provider in addressing this aspect of care. The course will focus on the developmental theories associated with spirituality/spiritual development across the life span; the spiritual dimension of health care practice (spiritual need, spiritual distress, spiritual care, and spiritual wellbeing); and the ethical dilemma in providing such care. Some of the topics that will be discussed include religion, bioethics, genetic testing and counseling, suicide/ euthanasia, abortion, reproductive technologies, human experimentation, and organ transplants. Students will be expected to assess behaviors in the health care delivery system that point to spiritual need, spiritual distress, or spiritual well-being, and acquire the knowledge and skill to provide spiritual care, without imposing their values.
