Notes on Truth, Beauty, and Goodness -- Phil A231

William Jamison - Instructor

Lecture 1

How do we start on the same sheet of music?

In fairly rapid succession I will go over some basics, such as how memory works, why we study philosophy, why this might be good or bad for us, and how I view the tradition within which we will consider the topics of truth, beauty, and goodness.

If you are interested in pursing any of my points on the mind you may find this book helpful:
