Welcome to the Philosophy 101 (Ph101) Course Page!
Course Description: This course is a study of the
nature of common sense and how philosophy and science, when properly
understood, are identical: are simply a species of common sense—an uncommon
commonsense enterprise in the best of individual and transcultural/transgenerational
commonsense wisdom.
