Description
Ask civilization’s most provocative questions. Meet its greatest minds. Learn from one of philosophy’s best professors. If you could travel back in time and take one college course now, this would be it.
With a goal of expanding the minds of lifelong learners, celebrated philosophy professor Kevin Corcoran engages thinkers from Descartes to David Foster Wallace to help you discover truth and tackle the big questions of our existence.
Through this compelling 15-lecture course, you’ll develop critical thinking skills that will bring clarity and focus to your daily life. Prof. Corcoran begins with Aristotle’s maxim that “philosophy begins in wonder.”
After discussing the nature of wonder and delight as the fertile soil within which philosophy is born and grows, you’ll explore a broad range of perspectives on quandaries that have captivated philosophers for centuries. You’ll ask questions including “What does it mean to be moral?”; “Do we exist, or are we living in the matrix?”; and “If God exists, why is there suffering in the world?”
Prof. Corcoran, named one America’s best professors by Princeton Review, will take you on a journey that is sure to stretch your intellectual muscles. A stellar teacher, he will inspire you to revisit life’s most profound questions.
This course is part of the Learn25 collection.

“Dr. Kevin Corcoran is an outstanding philosopher with particular expertise in Brain and Consciousness Studies. He is well qualified to lead audio lecture listeners through the mysterious and fascinating world of the relationship between our physical brains and the wide array of experiences that we understand as ‘Consciousness.’ I heartily endorse not only his audio lectures, but all of Dr. Corcoran’s work in the field of Neuroscience and Philosophy of Mind." (Ron Scheller, Sr. Principal Systems Analyst in the healthcare software industry)
“Kevin Corcoran presents problems about consciousness in a clear, systematic and stimulating way. His cutting edge research in the philosophy of mind has sparked many lively discussions among his students and colleagues. I recommend Kevin Corcoran to any one who wants to learn more about the nature of the mind and its relation to reality.” (Maria Venieri, Assoc. Professor of Philosophy, University of Crete)
