Ready to begin? Let’s go!

Start by visiting the Start Here! section of our course Blackboard website. All instructions and activities necessary to get started are found there.

Once you complete all the initial activities in the Start Here! module on Blackboard, you can return here and start exploring Unit 1: Intro.

Watch the due dates and good luck!

This digital resource contains all course materials for the PHIL 2101 course (Brooklyn College, CUNY). This is an introductory philosophy course that provides an overview of the field, covering topics such as logic, ethics, epistemology, and others.

The content on this site was either created or carefully curated by Mariya Gluzman, who is also one of the instructors teaching PHIL 2101 at Brooklyn College, CUNY.

While most course materials here are OER, meaning that they can be accessed, shared, and edited (with attribution) freely, some are not. The non-OER sources contained here are either embedded third-party videos, external links to publicly available content, links to library resources (requiring a library login), or accessible PDF documents that require a password (provided to Brooklyn College students registered for specific sections of the course).

Students will be expected to access relevant course units to complete assigned readings. The Blackboard website for the course will contain a comprehensive course calendar and a full syllabus, which provide a roadmap for completing the course.

In addition to readings and other course content, this website also contains a glossary of important terms, making it easier for students to engage with the course material.

Some important dates will be available as events and announcements will appear here from time to time.

Colleagues should feel free to use any and all content on this website, with appropriate attribution.
