B1.1

explain the main areas of philosophy (e.g., metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, philosophy of science, social and political philosophy, aesthetics), and identify some of the big questions that arise in each area (e.g., metaphysics: Do we have free will? What is the relationship between the mind and the body?; ethics: Are "Good Samaritan laws" sound laws? Do animals have moral rights?; epistemology: How does one justify a belief?; philosophy of science: Is scientific knowledge more reliable than other forms of knowledge?; social and political philosophy: How can one decide what the best system of government is? Are individuals' first obligations to their countries, or do they have equal or more important global obligations?; aesthetics: How does one determine the merit of a work of art?)
